Customer Ratings & Reviews

Quit pay TV and this has been great. Love the commercial skip feature. It also connects directly with app's like Netflix. If you are looking for a show, it will tell you what app it can be found on if available. Should have done this a long time ago.

So easy to set up and record all the programs we used to miss. Finally an OTA with no monthly fees. Plenty of storage space to cover long vacations. Love the commercial skip feature.

In my effort to cut my cable tv bill I decided to try one of these out. Having already purchased an Apple TV and a Samsung smart tv, I still was not educated on the lack of Roamio's streaming capabilities, neither was I familiar with MoCa networking, along with its advantages. Finally upon comparison of streaming apps through the Roamio vs my Smart Tv, there seemed to be noticeable quality difference. The Roamio looks "cheaper" in comparison to the Samsung. But, for the money I am saving (I purchased a lifetime Roamio feature package) along with a TiVo Mini for remote room viewing, I can deal with it just fine.

As a new cord cutter, having a DVR is essential. I bought this TiVo because it doesn't have any monthly fees and it works great.

It would have been 5 star if all I wanted to do was DVR OTA content. Good reception and audio output was Dolby 5.1. I needed to stream Hulu live as well and Tivo does not do that at this time.

I purchased my TiVo shortly after cutting my cable. Do to all the new shows this season and no DVR player from Verizon, I decided to try this DVR after reading the reviews. There are less expensive models, but I chose this one due to the hours it can record and no monthly fees. Almost forgot the commercial skip feature, instantly bypasses the commercials without having to fast forward through them. FANTASTIC

So much so, that I got this for a birthday present for a family member. I've got 2 Tivo units (Roamio, and a Bolt), and love how easy to use they are. You can get all your OTA channels, netflix, amazon prime, vudu, yahoo, and more in one device. Guide interface is intuitive, snappy response time, and easy to read. I saw a deal on the Roamio's here at BBY, and decided to pick one up as a gift. Got it set up for the family member and they cut the cord (went OTA). Saved them almost $100/month in doing so. These units are great. Reliable, quiet, and easy to use. Highly recommend.

I love my new TiVo. Commercial skip is great. No future dvr fees is also awesome. However, to have multi room viewing, multiple TiVo minis or a TiVo stream is required at $150 a pop. So it's awesome but too expensive for multiple screens

I decided to have a professional company come in & install a Channel Master 4228HD antenna on our roof & hook up all 3 TV's in the house. Ditched DirecTV & the $150.00 monthly bill. I get 58 OTA channels From Boston/Providence RI. I switched out the standard 1TB Tivo HD for a 3TB one (very easy install) It's worth the investment as you'll no longer have a hefty cable/satellite bill.

I have resisted Tivo in the past due to the pricey subscription costs. This product is made for those of us without cable, and includes 4 tuners and a lifetime subscription. It would be a 5, but the first one didn't work properly after setup, and I had to drive to the only Best Buy that had it (45 minutes away).

Makes watching television enjoyable again without breaking the bank. Has great easy to use program guides. Setup so simple anyone can do it. Better than cable. Pause, fast forward, skip commercials. Has everything you could ask for.

Thank you Tivo, I needed a Dvr to record my shows on regular basic tv, this is perfect, no more cable tv for me to much $$$$......

I now can record my TV shows that are broadcast over the airwaves rather than relying on cable or dish TV services. After purchase and installation of the DVR, there are no further costs or monthly fees. This is a lot cheaper than paying for cable service and equipment, even if you subscribe to streaming services for more channels. I have had it in service for almost a month and am happy. After cancelling my cable service, this will pay for itself within 4 months, and will be free thereafter. Pretty good deal!

I finally cut the cord in July. Saving over $100 a month now just for TV service from U-verse. Buying the TiVo Roamio OTA was a no brainer for me since I still wanted to recorded live TV over an antenna. I also tried the Tablo TV. While I liked the concept, the picture quality is not as good as TiVo (or live TV) and waiting for live TV or recorded shows to play was frustrating. You get none of that with the TiVo. Everything works quickly, and the picture quality is really good.

No more monthly fees (except for Hulu) Works pretty much like the DVR I had Easy to setup and use, but you do need a good antenna.

Connection and activation were easy to accomplish. The guide loaded more quickly than I expected. We have used it over a month now, and have enjoyed the recording of our shows. Our only problem is that the fan in the box started making noise a couple days ago. TIVO says "Go back to Best Buy and exchange it." Best Buy says "You are past the 15 days, so only TIVO can exchange it." Meanwhile..............

This product allowed us to get rid of satallite TV and still have the ability to record programs. The menus are easy to use and the box serves as an interface for other streaming services like Amazon Prime and Netflix.

This was just a great purchase, I looked at tablo and channelmaster. They all have their merits but in my opinion with the free lifetime subscription the Rovio beats them all. Simple easy to use and setup is a breeze. The actual activation took awhile and that was annoying but everything else was cake

I was reluctant to cut the cable and use over-the-air programing. But with my NEW Tivo...I find it to be the best move ever! This Tivo works great...better than I expected! Saving over $130 a month in cable bills!

A great solution for OTA TV eliminating my cable bill. Great to have immediate access to streaming apps without switching inputs or devices. Product works great!
