Tivo Premiere - is it worth it
They have a sale on the base model Tivo Premiere for $50. Records 75 hours of HD shows.
This is the only unit that can utilize a digital antenna. The rest require cable. The monthly fee is $15 which seems high for basically giving you a live TV Guide. Is this setup worth it for the overall monthly cost? Last edited by 007; 01-15-2014 at 03:29 AM.. |

We've had Tivos for years, could never go without again.
Upgrade the HD fairly easy. I only pay $6.95/mo on a retention plan for one, and bought lifetime on the other for $100 a couple years ago.

We are debating between the Premiere and the new model Roamio. The Roamio is $200 but has 4 tuners instead of just 2. Not sure if that is worth the extra $150 considering both only store 75 hours of HD.

Haven't seen a Roamio in person, but I didn't think they supported OTA at all. tivocommunity.com

As far as upgrading the HDD goes, I can only seem to find instructions for upgrading with linux and mac for the Premiere. Nothing for Windows.

Right now I am trying to decide between the Tivo or just getting the gbox Midnight MX2 android viewer with XBMC.
