When I am watching Netflix or Amazon video I am constantly annoyed by the crappy player functionality: the ability to move forward or backward, etc. is awful compared to playing back TiVo recorded content.
What would it take to get the TiVo player functionality for other streaming sources?
ISTM that any of the streaming sources could be treated like live video, being buffered to disk. Then all the functions for moving around in that content could be the same as with TiVo live content.
I am guessing that one problem would be that each streaming source has its own app, and doesn't have access to the TiVo player functionality. And maybe they want to have a consistent product across platforms. Also, buffering may be an issue with content protection.
Nevertheless, they have poor players. Maybe TiVo could license the technology for some extra revenue.
