    Been using this box for 2years now and it is still going great. It receives updates from TiVo every few months and keeps on working as expected. Would suggest an external HD if you want to save more than 100 to 150 shows.

    Just plug an OTA antenna into the this TiVo and you are good to go (we are using a mohu leaf) Nothing beats the TiVo interface a normal cable or satellite DVR can compete

    We love Roamio, the only thing is that it doesn't have enough memory for my needs I understand now that it has to allocate time for ea program you program in so it runs out of memory fast. I am about to buy extra memory to add and it will be perfect. It surely beats to pay for cable, pay for view or even dvd rental!

    I have always been a Tivo customer. This Tivo unit is the only one that I have found for full time off the air recording. I am planning a split from cable to an antenna system. This is just what I needed!

    Paid $50 for the tivo a don't like subscription which is $15mo. But the price is affordable most dvr run more than $200. The tivo is not bad but there are a few things that bug me. It records suggested shows which i don't want. Can't add apps because it's password protected. And sometimes the audio goes out which then I have to turn off the tivo and tv for a minute. Would have scored higher if for not these things.

    Needed to cut the cable cord but love having a DVR. This is the best of both worlds. DVR service for OTA TV. Now instead of $100/mo. for a bunch of channels I never really watch, I am paying $15/mo.

    I like the TIVO romeo a lot. I was always disappointed because we are in a remote area and don't have cable. I would have rated it higher if it had come with a manual .

    I use an outdoor antennae, and this Tivo DVR pulls in signal better than my previous Premiere. Guide is user friendly, and the streaming apps are great.

    We bought this Tivo along with an OTA antenna and it is absolutely amazing. We record our favorite network shows. It can be set to record every episode, and then watch when we want to watch. With $8 for Netflix and $15 for the Tivo subscription, we have all the TV we want to watch for $23 a month.

    We went cable free but still wanted to be able to record some of our shows and the Tivo was the best option and has worked out great. I love the skip commercial feature. The only downfall is it can only be hooked up to the TV via HDMI and my TV is old and doesn't work well with HDMI (the sound goes out occasionally).

    The TIVO Roamio offers a lot for the price--4 channels of recording and a convenient program guide. The remote is not at all intuitive--it takes a while to get used to using it. The monthly fee is reasonable considering the convenience this device offers.
