When we got our Roamio in 2013 I moved our TiVo HD, now over 7 years old, to the basement where it replaced a Fios DVR. But 8 tuners is really overkill for us, and I'm paying an extra $5 for the cablecard in the TiVo HD. Would the TiVo Mini give us a noticeably better experience than the TiVo HD? For instance yesterday we wanted to watch something that involved a transfer from the Roamio and the transfer wasn't able to go fast enough to let us skip all the commercials. Clearly this is a case where Mini would do better. But I'm just trying to get a sense overall of whether I'd really be happier in day-to-day use with the Mini.
And just to make it slightly more complicated, I'm feeding two AVRs at the moment. So I'm making use of the HDMI outputs in one case and the component/optical outputs for the other. It looks the Mini will give simultaneous output but I need to buy some proprietary break-out cables? And I'll lose the optical audio and instead need to use analog RCAs? Overall that's probably fine because the second AVR is used less critically, with just a 3.1 setup. So I could simply use Dolby PLII processing and be pretty happy.
