You can stop watching a show in any room and go to the other TV and continue the show or any task you want.
One of the neat super handy features is the commercial skip. Some shows allow you to hit a button and BAM, all the commercials are skipped and the show starts again. That only works on 30 or 40% of the shows right now. It has built in Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now and more.
In the living room we have a stereo amp for the surround sound system and in my office I have an amp with two stereo speakers and one center channel. No rear speakers.
In the bedroom just the TV speakers are used.
The TIVO system has about 50 or so movies we have recorded from HBO and other sources. It also has a "one pass manager" to set up recordings and a wish list so it will scour the directory for a show you want to see. It learns your viewing so it starts to record as suggestions movies and shows you might like.
It is a great system.

Our computer does similar for recorded shows. Plus I can edit the commercials out if I want to.
