Along the same lines, is there a Roku app or plans for one to watch the content on my tivo when away from home? A search on the Roku channel store yielded no results. Even better if TiVo allows streaming away from home, but I doubt I ever see this happening because of pressure from those "evil" cable companies. You can order A/V breakout cables from tivo.com cable accessories page so as to get composite or component output from the Mini. If money were no object, a mini or a second tivo and a slingbox together would do what you are asking.
In addition you need to buy the Slingbox app that isn't as clean and easy as it TiVo app to control it. You are basically using a IR remote to control your TiVo box through the network all the Slingbox. You have to make sure to check the option in your OpenVPN server's settings to "use this connection for the internet" or some such verbiage.
TiVo's Bolt DVR now lets you stream recordings away from home
If you are not prompted automatically, complete setup and then go to Settings. Choose Start Setup in the Streaming & Downloading section. If prompted, select the primary TiVo box to use with the app. (You will only be prompted if you have more than one compatible box on your home network.) You can always switch to a different TiVo box later. Before you begin, make sure you are running the latest iOS software and that you have a compatible TiVo box connected to your home network. Unfortunately, you'll have to sideload the tivo app to get it to work on your fire stick.
I'd personally rather see them release apps for devices like Chromecast, Roku and FireTV that support the stream. I've got a high end ASUS router and setup an OpenVPN server. Installed the software on my laptop, but I still get the same message on Tivo Online regarding not being able to verify location.
TiVo Stream 4K
For example, Netflix unlimited streaming membership is required to access Netflix content, and Prime Video membership is required to access Prime Video content. A Hulu subscription is required to access Hulu content. Access TiVo Online™ from any web browser to search for shows, browse air times and channels, schedule recordings, set up OnePasses and watch shows online. Just visit online.tivo.com and sign in with your tivo.com username and password. To transfer "premium" content from the Bolt to a mobile device, you'll need to be on your home's Wi-Fi network.
Press OK to switch to a channel, tuner, show that's airing or to set up a recording. If you want access to your recordings when you don't have Internet access (in the car, on a plane, etc.), download them to your mobile device. I have used an old Slingbox Pro for many years for what you are trying to do. The picture quality is limited by your upstream bandwidth but it works.
The golden age of the streaming wars has ended

The way your TiVo connects to the Internet also matters. I decrypt to my Plex server from the Tivo's web interface and play from there. I think this requires the old (non-hydra) os though.
No more pain in the apps
Obviously obscuring the image isn't good for a player so they would need to protect against screen scraping. The only way to do that in Windows is to go full screen and then write directly to the graphic cards memory. The only program I know of that can do that is Media Center, and that's because it's part of the OS and able to access the video card differently then regular software.
I am looking at the possibility of using a stream in replace of two minis on two televisions that are rarely used using an iPad. Yes I know HDMI out and AirPlay are disabled at this time. If I could get the stream to be usable over a VPN I would have a one item solution for my two problems. Install AMIDuOS and load the android app on your laptop.
Download apps like Plex and Kodi to enjoy your own media content on your smart TV. Tap the title of the show to go to the Series page. To limit the list to only recordings, select Recordings from the drop-down menu. Why couldn't you watch it on the TiVo app on your phone then cast the phone's screen to the fire stick? (Chromecast owner, genuinely curious if fire stick would / wouldn't do this).
The SkipMode® and QuickMode® features give you even more control over your entertainment experience. 1 A Sling TV or YouTube TV subscription is required to access live TV and DVR from these providers. Use Chromecast built-in to cast photos, videos and music from your small screen to your big screen. Choose another country to see content specific to your location and shop online.
Haven't received it yet so don't know how well it works. For viewing from hotels it's very common to get below 300Kbps speeds so getting a decent picture at low bandwidth is important. The appeal to using the stream over VPN is that it would use only one of the tuners well the main television was still able to be used by whoever was sitting in front of it. The issue with the Slingbox is anyone wanting to watch TV would have to watch what I'm streaming over my phone. I had an issue trying to bridge the wired VPN to wifi devices. I just had a wifi adapter available so I just used that instead of the built in wifi since it plugged into a wired ethernet port of the router and then it worked.
Not all recorded content can be streamed or downloaded to a laptop, tablet or mobile device (due to copy protection assigned by content provider and/or other technical limitations). The starting point for the TiVo BOLT OTA experience is the TiVo Home screen. Get there by pressing the TiVo button on the top of your remote. From here, you can go to My Shows, where you’ll find all your recorded and streaming content, or browse for something new to watch. Even better, you can do it all using your voice!
