The subscription fee covers the ability to use the box. Think of it as the monthly cost you would have to pay a cable company to use their box. The fee can be paid in 3 different ways: monthly, yearly, or lifetime (of that box).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The TIVO DVR will not work without access to the internet which gives you a 14-day channel lineup. I think OTA users will find the monthly fee well worth it and way cheaper than cable! I LOVE my TIVO--Just got it last year and I don't know how we lived without it! It is fantastic! The more I use it the better it gets--even records tons of shows it thinks you might like without doing anything. Combined with a Roku and Sling TV, it gives you almost everything you might want for a fraction of the cost of cable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.best bet is to call tivo and ask that question. normally a fee is involved in any dvr of any company you choose as their is a fee. tivo only has one fee for service as others have rental fee hd access fee surcharges and the fee can change over time such as price increases and so forth when tivos fee remains the same as long as the plan or box is active
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For all of the benefits the Tivo offers, including 4 tuners for recording...wonderful channel line up menu. Smaller foot print, less space. In addition, tech service by phone is very good. You can purchase a lifetime subscription however, if the Tivo fails out of warranty, it cannot be transferred to a replacement unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.$12.95 a month not much different from a cable provider
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The service feel just covers the use if their servers for your TV service and the overlay. Depending on the TV service you have this may or may not be worth it to you. For me, the UI is so much better than Charter it was a no brainer. I make up the cost with the fact I am not leasing equipment from Charter any more.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It covers updating programming
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The fee is reasonable. I am at work and my best recollection is $14.99 per month if it is by the month. You can save buy paying a year in advance. Go to TiVo.com and they have the pricing there. For certain providers like Netflix, HuLu , etc. there is a sevice fee. Go to their sites as well to get current pricing. Not all sites have to have an account set up. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The fee is to store any video that is captured. You can still use the camera to watch a live feed, you just can't go back and see what happened previously.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It goes towards the excellent channel guide service.
