i think the OTA only works with antenna. if you ever switch to cable then it won't work with it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The TIVO Roamio OTA will work with an antenna only. The TIVO Roamio can work with antenna or cable after installing a cablecard from your provider.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.OTA stands for Over The Air. OTA can be achieved by attaching an antenna to the back of the roamio ota or roamio. the one for $179.99 that you indicate has the capability of using a cablecard from your cable provider OR if no cable provider you can use the antenna so you have 2 options instead of just one. other then that all other specifications are same. conclusion: OTA only antenna, roamio antenna or cable card ready
