Q: Questionjust got a TiVo Roamio o/Ta Model # TCD 846000 Before I open the box, Does this unit allow you to play DVD's

Asked 8 years ago by Phoo24.

• A:Answer I do not think it will play DVDs. There are no disc slots on the TIVO device. We have a separate Blue Ray disc player. We do use the TIVO remote to select the input, and to control TIVO and regular TV programs,but have to use the Blueray disc remote to play the discs.

Q: QuestionWhat is the manufacturer warranty ?

Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The Tivo brochure says 90 days labor/1 year exchange parts. The warranty struck me as being pretty thin which is why I got the extended from BB. After using a Comcast dvr for the last few years, the TiVo is a slick little machine though.

Q: QuestionWhat is the list or all of the video On Demand applications that this TIVO has. I see Netflix and Hulu Plus . But what about Sling and Amazon to name some that I'm interested in.

Asked 9 years ago by Brewskii.

• A:Answer Sling is not available on the OTA yet. But Amazon Prime is. Love my Tivo OTA. If you want Sling, until Sling makes it available on the Tivo Platform, try a Roku.. I did and it works great and when Sling makes their service available on Tivo, you can move the Roku to another set...

  I would recommend:

  • 

    Roku - Premiere+ Streaming Media Player - Black

    User rating, 4.65 out of 5 stars with 3412 reviews.

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer You can only use one TiVo per tv, however to answer your question YES you can connect to the wifi with multiple tvs. I have the TiVo Romario OTA and TiVo mini which means I can record on my Romario and watch and play off of my mini too. This is done by using wifi.

Q: QuestionI live near Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA. If I pick one up in the USA will it work in Canada?

Asked 8 years ago by Mmpp.

• A:Answer Yes it will function in Canada . It has tuners inside just like your TV so if you are receiving over the air broadcasts on an antenna this unit will work amazingly well. I live I Oshawa Ontario and I receive about forty five stations. Twenty or so are Canadian channels and the rest are from Buffalo N.Y.. I have an older dual tuner tivo that I've had for six / seven years and it has worked pe4fectly . All you have to do is enter into the data base your postal code so it knows where you live and it will download the appropriate tv guide for your area. Good luck / bon chance!!

Q: Questioncan I record all movies and tv shows from my Nvidia Shield TV box?

Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer If you are asking can I record shows using the tivo romio dvr on my tv, then the answer is........you can record anything viewable from an over the air antenna (major network channels and many additional channels viewable using an antenna). You will not be able to record shows that you are streaming, although tivo romio provides a nice platform for Hulu, Amazon video, Netflix, Vudu and several other options.
