Can the Tivo HD handle multiple TCP connections? The ipad Tivo app and Roomie seem to block each other. I have enabled "network remote" on the Tivo. Thanks.

The official TiVo app and Roomie use completely different methods to talk to the TiVo so they don't conflict.

Roomie and another Roomie controlling the same TiVo at the same time would conflict within a roughly 10 second window. 10 seconds after any command, Roomie releases the TiVo so any other Roomie can do something to the same TiVo then.
