I don't remember if there is any MRx HD at the moment. These MOT/SA are not subject to CableLabs CableCard review, which TiVo is. TiVo may be stuck with an Overlord that MOT, SA and the MSOs are not.

However, I'll note that the major set top companies--Motorola and Scientific Atlanta in particular--have set tops installed in the field that do multi-room. I presume these had to pass CableLabs certification? If so, why is the Tivo not allowed to offer the same features? Now I suspect that those vendors in fact stream the video from the MR DVR to the target STB, rather than allowing it to be copied to the target, which probably isn't a DVR, but Tivo could presumably implement a MR delete-when-done version that would be acceptable. Personally, I was planning to buy an S3 and now I'm holding out waiting to see what happens. The MR and TTG features are too useful, so I'll just stick with SD video for now. I suppose I could put an S3 in next to my existing S2... Personally, if I could get TTG of SD content, and MR of SD content, so that I wasn't being penalized for buying an S3, I would jump. I could always use the dual-tunes to tape something in both HD and SD incase I wanted to watch it in the other room. And for iPod viewing, an SD copy is certainly good enough.
