A:AnswerI use it EXACTLY like I used my DVR with my cable subscription. I use my wirelessly and can even use my phone as a remote control (but NOT for TV controls, just for TIVO controls). Totally worth it in my opinion. I get free over the airwaves TV thru my antenna. BIG savings.
A:AnswerDirectV uses their own version of TIVO with a similar experience.
This Roamio unit is either OTA HD broadcast or CABLE recorder
but not both at the same time.
A:AnswerNO.
But there is a better solution. If you know how, transfer your DVR files to a PC or NAS and name the File ie MY OLD DVR.
Share that folder on the network and TIVO will find it and let you watch it.
BTW , Tivo will let you copy your shows to an external drive or your tablet so you can watch them on vacation.
A:AnswerBased on the product specs on BestBuy.com, this TiVo does come with a one year manufacturer warranty for parts and 90 days for labor. You also have the option to purchase a 2 year and 4 year Geek Squad Protection plan.
Thanks!
A:AnswerUse an amplified antenna if your any distance from the TV stations. I use an RCA ANT702F Amplified Indoor/Outdoor Omni-Directional HDTV Antenna that I paid $40 dollars for at Wal-Mart.
