TiVo Roamio OTA DVR

August 9, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

tivo roamio_ota_frontI’ve had a fun time reviewing TiVo products, with my review of the TiVo Bolt, and it has changed the way that I watch TV. It is high time for my review of the TiVo Roamio OTA DVR, which is made for those who want to experience the TiVo experience on antenna TV.

Now, I am not familiar with an HD antenna, but it is apparently a thing. For those who have been using the HD antenna, the TiVo Roamio OTA DVR is able to give users one terabyte of recording, which is about 150 HD hours. For those who want to do SkipMode, this will do it, so you don’t get to see commercials. Oh, and you will have access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and YouTube.

It also includes OnePass, which can track every available season and episode of a show. So if you want to watch an entire program, it is possible. There is also QuickMode, which allows for skipping through shows at a 30 percent faster rate.

So yes, it has all of the TiVo features that make a TiVo a TiVo. What is interesting is how even though it is antenna only, there is this thing on back that allows me to open it up. Now, I have the TiVo Bolt, and this is the spot where the cable card is inserted. Granted, the cable-card doesn’t have a cradle, but I made a transfer from the Bolt. It didn’t take.

Here’s the thing: when I set up the Roamio on my TV, it gave the option of setting it up for cable. I called the company to see if I could set it up for cable, and they said no. So what gives? Did TiVo make this thing and say: “Nah, we don’t need no stinking cable”.

You should be able to purchase the TiVo Roamio OTA DVR here on the TiVo site. Just to let you know, you might be able to get a cheaper version of it. Speaking of cheap, there is no subscription cost.
