Hi.
I don't recommend Tivo because of what happened to me. I received one for
Christmas, and got help setting it up. I liked its screen reader, and it worked
well for me. I liked it so much that I got another for my bedroom. I was very
happy with it until I switched my router and attempted to get Wi-Fi going in
the bedroom. I couldn't, because the screen reader requires an internet
connection to function, so for a blind person, it's impossible to set up on
your own. Needless to say, I canceled my subscription, and I have two nice
units collecting dust.
Maybe you'll have better luck than I did.
Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.

Anyone here using a Tivo?
I currently have a main unit and two boxes provided by the cable company, in
order for them to comply with accessibility.
I'm still test driving the cutting of the cable cord for TV option, as I
experiment with the Roku Express.
I also have a few digital TV antennas that I have used when the cable TV was
out of service which has happened because of wire issues inside and outside the
house.
Anyway, the OTA digital TV is okay, but not what I want exclusively.
I do need to check out Pluto and Discovery Plus to see if that will meet my TV
needs.
I've heard commercials for something called Stir TV that is supposed to be free
too.
I hear these commercials on Stream Player.
You can enable this skill with your Alexa device.
Say enable stream player.
Then when you want to use it, say open stream player.
Then say the channel that is available, like Comet TV.
I don't know what is all available on Stream Player.
But back to the Tivo:
If I do drop the cable TV, I do have a main box and a small one that I own but
aren't plugged in, for two TVs, a main one, maybe it's called the bolt and a
smaller unit, I forget the name, the main box drives the little box, the little
box, I think won't work alone.
So that is what I'm wondering about, because I only know how Tivo works with my
cable TV.
I know that I can plug in an OTA antenna to the main box, but can that provide
that to the other boxes?
I think I can subscribe through Tivo company and get some options too, but I
haven't checked that out either.
And I know that I can use Netflix and Amazon Streaming, and Hulu on the Tivo.
Thanks for any thoughts on the Tivo.
Glenn
