Advice on my Roamio Plus

I am looking to purchase a tablet and am trying to decide on a brand. My understanding with the Roamio Plus is that it does not require extra hardware to stream, so long as the show is not copy protected (boo hiss FX and AMC). Is that correct? And does it matter if I buy an Android tablet instead of an iPad? I'd rather not spend so much on something I won't likely use that often.



I have a Roamio Plus and I've tried putting a tivo app on my Samsung laptop and it won't stream to that. When I try with my phone (Samsung S5) it says something about setting up my streaming device, I haven't done that yet but will give it a shot this weekend. It says "Not able to set up TiVo Stream" -- which of course, I don't have, since I have a Roamio Plus and I 'm told that feature should be integrated into it since it's a 6-tuner device?



I found all the instructions in the box a bit confusing, so hoping someone here can help me find some clarity.



Thanks,

Stephanie
