    Great UI ... not a great OTA option

    Honestly, I would give it "5 stars" if there was a good way to use the DVR service and ONEPASS manager for: - SlingTV - HuluLiveTV - DirectTVNow - YouTubeTV Honestly, I really don't have a dog in that fight, but hate that I have to switch TV inputs to go from Tivo to an OTA option. Sure they kind of have an OTA option, but I did not like it. I don't mind paying the $12.95/month for the DVR as I would rather use the DVR than stream TV. I LOVE the UI and ONEPass manager (which combines all of my watching options into one user interface). This is the coolest thing that I have seen and beats any cable UI ... really easy to use. However, for me, I HAVE to have live TV to watch college football and can't record them on the Tivo. @Tivo ... add one of the above and I would be back in a hiccup. I am probably going to return this ... or give it to a friend. The box itself also runs kind of hot ... like really hot, so from a hardware design perspective ... add a heatsync or the like.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Many improvements; can skip complete commercials between program. Apps are now fast. 4 tuners stop conflicts. Low heat, smaller, even the remote is smaller.
