TiVo Begins Pitching Aereo Castaways

I would say the latter

me too.

I think Tivo wants to push the Roamio OTA along with the Tivo Stream to the Aereo customers, but two problems are the customers still need to be able to receive a reliable OTA signal and the Tivo stream only works over wifi.

I have grown to like the Tivo, what with having Netflix, VUDU and Amazon apps built in, although I rarely use them. I have authorized most of my blurays so they show up in Vudu now and I occasionally will do a month of Netflix here and there. One box that can do most things is nice. I also like using pytivo to push my own mp4 files to the Tivo.

My stepmom likes the Tivo stream they bought for the Roamio I gave them as she likes to watch General Hospital and The Price is Right on her ipad, but for me I would mainly use it when I'm at kids football or baseball games without wifi and want to catch up on college or NFL games.

apparently Tivo was impressed with the response to the previous Roamio OTA Lifetime offer. They bumped it a $100.

You can get the Roamio OTA model with lifetime for $399 now

A good response to Channel Master,
Tablo and all the other sub-standard ota devices.
