Hi folks, I am thinking about getting a TiVo Edge with a recent promotion they’re holding, but I am not clear on the recent updates about Plex on TiVo. Right now, I use Plex on Roku, and I use an old TiVo for separate recording off the air for DVR. I have always loved TiVo’s seek abilities, which I’…

We don’t currently have an app for any Tivo devices. There is not a variable speed video playback option in our app.

Ah okay! I guess I meant “scrub”, not “seek”, sorry. So I guess this just isn’t in the cards for now. But it leaves me wondering: how does TiVo do it? In particular, how have they been able to do it for 20+ years, on way slower hardware etc? Is it custom-build hardware? Intellectual property of the…
