I've been using the multi-room viewing feature on my TivoHD to view shows recorded on an older Series2 Tivo (540040). It hasn't worked all that well. When I select a show to watch from the S2 on the TivoHD, I have to wait 5-6 minutes for a 30 minute show to buffer up enough so that I don't get interrupted. It definitely transfers much slower than normal viewing speed. I haven't tested it the other way around as of yet (watching a TivoHD SD recording on the S2). I'm not sure if the S2 or the TivoHD is to blame for the slow transfer. Both Tivo's are wired to an internal gigabit network.
