I'm not sure the best sub-forum to post this in.
I'm planning around Christmas-time to move from our Verizon FIOS media center and set top boxes around the house to a TiVo system. The bottom line question is to request a discussion on why to pick the Roamio Plus over the Premiere Series 4.
WK sells refurb Premiere Series 4 units with lifetime service. If I buy a 4TB one of those, I'll save $470 over a Roamio Plus 4TB (assuming I'd purchase a lifetime service with the Roamio, which I likely would). With either system (Premiere or Roamio), I'll also get up to three minis for around the house.
Here are the obvious differences that I can see. The Roamio gives me 6 tuners as opposed to 4. I imagine the interface might be different, but is it that much better?
I have an old home with plaster walls and no ethernet (would be hard to add), so I'm planning to run powerline networking to the multiple rooms to make this all work. Any commentary on that would be appreciated as well.
