A simple but handy multiroom suggestion

I love the ability to pause a show in one room and resume watching in another, but the process of doing so is a little bit cumbersome IMO. I have 2 Romeos and 2 Minis and if I am watching something and want to continue somewhere else, I hit pause, go to the other room, remember which Roameo the show was recorded on, navigate through a huge list to find the same show I was watching, select it, and then press resume.

I think it would be really cool that when you press the pause button, a menu should pop up giving you the option to resume playing on another TiVo. When you do this, and turn on the other TV, a dialog will be showing "Resume playing show XXXXXXXX" and one button press would get you right back where you were. I think small intuitive functionality things like this is what provides the greatest joy in user experience.

It would also solve another problem. When I press pause on one TiVo, then resume watching on another box, the show stays "paused" on the first Tivo. If I finish watching the show on the second unit, I cannot delete the show because the first one is technically still "watching it". I found I have to leave the show paused to resume in another room because if I stop the show by pressing the "Tivo button" or "Live TV" on the first box, the system very often forgets where in the show I was and I only get the option to "Play Show" and not "Resume Playing".
