The Roamio Pro has six tuners so that you can record up to six programs or record five and watch another live. Still, it is totally worth it and an excellent feature. This can be a little time consuming, especially if you don’t know your subscription tier’s available channels by memory. This means that you can remove all the stations you don’t get, so you’re never recommended programming you can’t watch or try to record something you can’t. I could have stopped here and been fine, but TiVo offers the ability to “de-authorize” stations in its menu. I signed in to Netflix and Hulu, downloaded the TiVo app for my iPhone and iPad and got those synced up by plugging in a short number for each. Figuring this issue out did take over an hour, though I admit I did it via chat instead of phone and that may have added a few minutes.īut once all of that was handled, getting the Roamio Pro totally set up was a breeze. Then, it became apparent that we were only getting some of the channels we were supposed to. Coming to this conclusion took what felt like an hour.

Comcast had the wrong serial number on file, and needed to get the correct one. The setup routine could have gone as simply as calling a number to enter certain information offered up on the Roamio Pro’s setup screen, later giving us magical access to our channels.

It authorizes the device, be it a TV or DVR, to access your cable service while allowing the cable company to keep your access restricted to whatever your subscription level might be. If you’re not familiar, a Cable Card is … well, it’s a card … that you stick into third-party equipment so that it will work with your cable service without requiring a separate box. Then again, she wasn’t being all that pleasant with anyone. A company representative wasn’t particularly pleasant with me as I exchanged three digital boxes for a sing Cable Card (cutting into their bottom line – hey, at least I was still cutting something). Getting the Roamio Pro up and running would have been a piece of cake if it didn’t involve my cable company, Comcast. We’d later find out the remote had another trick up its sleeve. In addition, the remotes buttons are colorful and well lain out. The remote, too, sports sexy curves that make it feel like it was made to be cradled in your hand. And the DVR box itself is well-constructed, with a solid metallic casing, no flimsy metal or lame plastic. A brilliantly-designed quick start guide inside beams “Start Here!” as if it is as excited as you are to get going. First off, it’s friendlier and more colorful. Removing the TiVo Pro from its box immediately hammers home the fact that it is everything your cable or satellite DVR is not. With all of that, was the Roamio good enough to change my mind about going full-on cable-cutter? Read on to find out.

And as if all that wasn’t enough, the Roamio Plus and Pro models will let you stream live and recorded TV to an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, in or out of your home. Plus – and this is a developing feature, not available in all markets just yet – TiVo has struck a deal with several cable markets (mine included) which allows the user to access their cable company’s video on-demand services. It also allows streaming content from online services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Instant, and several others. Using a Cable Card, the Roamio effectively replaces your cable box, laying its own, far superior guide and interface over the top of the channels.
If ever there was a product that might convince me to keep cable service around, it would be the TiVo Roamio.You see, the Roamio ostensibly allows me to do almost everything I want with live, on-demand, and streaming content. But the demo TiVo gave me at the CEDIA convention last September had me wondering if the Roamio might make me turn around on the whole “no more cable” plan. In fact, I actually had all my cable boxes packed up, ready for return to Comcast when the Roamio DVR TiVo sent me arrived.

But TiVo remained tenacious, recently introducing the Roamio series of DVRs, and in doing so, promptly changing my tune.Īdmittedly, I’m what you would call a newborn “cord-cutter.” Rather than continue to pay for cable or satellite TV services and all the fees that come with them, I have opted to get most of my TV and movie content through either over-the-top services like Netflix and Hulu (with the occasional rental from a service like Vudu) or over the air using an HD antenna. When satellite and cable companies started handing out HD DVRs and, later, incorporating access to tons of on-demand video content through its own equipment, I concede that I joined a chorus of many who thought TiVo might soon meet its end.
