RCN starts offering TiVo Premieres in NYC

RCN's Netflix, Amazon VOD and HD UI-lacking TiVo Premiere boxes are now available to Empire State customers, the first region outside of Washington D.C. to get access. It looks like the bundle packages vary from D.C.'s slightly based on internet speed, but adding a Premiere on is still a $19.95 per month charge. So New York City TiVo fans, the choice is yours: RCN's VOD or everyone else's, which do you prefer?

If I remember correctly, you can also mix and match which is nice. This way if you have two rooms you could have the RCN TiVo in the room you want VOD, but the retail TiVo in a second room for Netflix, Amazon, etc. Since you have to activate the RCN TiVo on the TiVo.com you should be able to MRV between the two giving the best of both worlds if you want TiVo.
