Tivo intros the Roamio line of DVR’s- ushering 6 HD recording at once

Tivo Roamio[ad#ad-1]Today TiVo introduced what they call the best DVR ever.  Actually, they introduced a family of three: the Roamio, the Roamio Plus and the Roamio Pro. This announcement is probably TiVo’s biggest in about two years. Now these DVR products pretty much blow away the DVR products that are in most of our homes, mine included. (See www.tivo.com/shop/roamio Compare page.) Along with a comparison page is a Specifications page (shown below), and installation page (see Video 2) and an in-depth Frequently Asked Question page.  While there’s a lot more to mention about this new product line, I recommend visiting TiVo’s website for yourselves if you need to know more.

Each Roamio is currently available for purchase via www.tivo.com at the prices listed below.

Only the TiVo Roamio™ DVR offers cable subscribers this complete package:

  • A love that never has to end with Out of Home Streaming capability… Access to your recordings wherever you roam.** A hotel in Denmark, the waiting room at the dentist office, or while stuck in line at the DMV — coming soon, you will be connected to your favorite shows and recordings anywhere, anytime.
  • Love SOOOO many at the same time… Avoid scheduling conflicts because Roamio has up to 6 tuners and can record all the good shows on Sunday to watch throughout the week.
  • Streaming + favorite cable channels = A match made in Heaven… Regular cable channels like HBO, NBC or ESPN and the capabilities of your standard cable DVR combined with popular streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube, plus Amazon in ONE box. No other cable DVR brings Netflix to your big screen. None.
  • A marriage of every box or device out there… It’s like Roku, Apple TV, Slingbox, Google TV, your cable DVR — rolled into one.
  • Your heart’s desire right away with a personalized dashboard… Immediately, get your favorite channels, shows and preferences in front of you the instant you turn on your TV. A baseball fan will never miss an exciting no hitter in the 9th inning again thanks to TiVo.
  • Room for many fish in the sea with 3 TB of unprecedented storage capacity… Up to 450 hours of HD storage means you’ll never be forced to erase that “Duck Dynasty” episode you haven’t been able to watch yet.
  • Searching and searching for love? No more! Easy access to anything you have been longing for with one remote — wherever you are. If “NCIS” on CBS, a TED Talk on YouTube or “Thomas the Train” on Netflix is your desire, TiVo makes it easy to find them, record, download or stream them anytime, anywhere. Find upcoming new episodes or reruns of past episodes or seasons of a favorite show on streaming services or your cable VOD.
  • It’s not stalking with TiVo… Find and play everything your favorite movie star is in. Automatically record every movie in which Matt Damon or Reese Witherspoon appear.
