List Of Known TiVo HME Applications

NOTE The December 2016 TiVo update broke the ability of any of these apps to play MP3 Audio (music, etc) and MP4 Video (aka MPEG4, H.264). MPEG2 Video playback was unaffected. We can only hope a later update will fix this feature (one update seems to have fixed MP3 audio in SOME models).
NOTE Video streaming (not counting "live tv" display) is only supported in Series 3 and later models.

Served Remotely (via "Manually add a Server…" or "Add an App…" on the TiVo DVR)

NOTE this feature is broken on the Bolt. It was broken in the Bolt when released and a TiVo update broke it in most models from December 2015 until February 2016. Shortly afterwards the "add" button was REMOVED from the Bolt).
