Can I have someone transfer my programs from my old TiVo to my new TiVo, or are the programs on old TiVo abandoned with it? null

Question

I have 2 old TiVos. I plug the old one in and watch when I want to see things on them. They will not be able to record once you switch to a new TiVo, but the old recordings can still be watched.

I have never seen anything about moving recordings, but you can save shows to your computer.

The answer is, it depends. If you buy a new Tivo Bolt show transfers must be done using Tivo Online. Tivo Online has a problem and many (50% or more??) show transfers from older Tivo boxes fail.
