RCN offers TiVo Premiere in Boston; Philadelphia, Chicago are next

For your daily TiVo update, those RCN distributed Premiere units have found their way up to Boston after first being unleashed in Washington D.C. and New York City. The blog post mentions Chicago, Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania will be next, and a bit of URL finagling on RCN's website easily reveals promotional pages for those areas. The 12 month promo deals vary by location, but if you're just adding the box to current service, the $19.95 fee is consistent, as is the classic TiVo menu. Of course, over the top video options are still limited to YouTube and cable VOD, but we're wondering if RCN will get the same multiroom tweaks Suddenlink has promised.

Hey, I can mention for any Philly RCN subscribers out there that the TiVo's are available now, I ordered mine on Friday! Bye bye horrible Moto DVR!

Also at least where I am the RCN internet UL speed is just fine, not that UL speed is gonna make much difference on your TiVo.
