I didn’t even know that Tivo was still around! I thought it went away quite a while ago! I’m definitely going to have to check into it I was liked it when I knew it was around.
We don’t have Cogeco in our area but I love that you can take your shows with you when you travel.
Yes it seems today we can watch what we want whenever we want.
We tried to go without cable/DVR for a little while, I thought I was going to go insane. I’m a huge TV junkie.
Never heard of tivo, i don’t think it’s available here, but thanks for shairng.
Since I rarely can ever catch tv shows when they air this is ideal. I need to get on board and check out TIVO.
we have had TIVO, for over a year now, and agree, with every comment you made, about the service. We have another service here, as Cogeco, is not available here, but works the same. I would, highly recommend TIVO.
Oh wow! I had no idea TiVo was still around. That’s so cool! TiVo is the gadget that started it all. It’s the reason we have DVRs with cable providers right now.
I’m not into watching much stuff. I don’t have a TV and don’t watch things on my computer. I’d rather be out doing things.
I have Cogeco TiVo and absolutely love it. I never have time to watch my shows, which there are many, when they air. I find myself watching a handle of episodes at a time.
We love TiVo which is so perfect to capture shows you can binge watch when you have some time off from our busy schedules. I don’t know what I would do without all it offers, especially the search feature.
I totally have to agree with you! I love not having to worry about missing my shows while traveling. I can always find them recorded and ready on my TiVo when I return home.
I will have to look into getting TiVo for my house. I love the features it offers.
I am hoping to upgrade to TiVo this spring. I would love to record the shows I can not watch.
We have a DVR at our house, witch I use liberally. I think that the DVR, which began with TIVO, was one of the most wonderful inventions in the history of television. So, it has changed, but definitely for the better.
Ths is awesome! I haven’t tried their service but their features are really interesting! I think this is something worth a try!
Oh it certainly has changed the way we watch TV. I never watch anything in real time anymore!
My husband and I are looking into getting rid of cable. It’s been forever since we watched anything in real time. The issue is, our internet bill will go up significantly. So, I need to find an option for that first.
Your TiVo experience sounds perfect to get current shows, or catch up and even take it with you on vacation. I will have to see if it is available where I live.
I can understand why you like Tivo. You can watch all your favorite shows and record those that you want to see for later.
We’ve never had cable but I can see that Tivo has a lot of the same things that really make us love streaming only.
Not sure that Tivo is available for us but I do like the sound of the service. Definitely trying to find a good alternative to cable.
We are new to TIVO and signed on to a 6 month special. After that ends, I am not sure how much the service will be. We do enjoy unlimited Internet and the speed is better than our old house. Living in ON.
TIVO is not all cracked up as the author suggests.
First of all the software and channel line ups are very sloooow. There hasn’t been a software upgrade in a couple years. So the looks of the menus are getting dated.Also you can’t personalize the menus very much with for example your favourite colours or fonts.
The Opera store has only 6 apps in it Facebook and Twitter are useless as they only show your timeline. TVitter is too slow to be useful. The Weather Channel app is probably the best thing about the opera store. But even then if you’ve got a phone it’s much easier just to look at that.
As for PVR well it’s not much different than the days of VCR’s. You still look for something to watch. A PVR is not going to change that. Also half the TV stations are showing the same shows other stations show. How many stations need to show show Pawnstars. Also most of the programming is dated. They’ve been repeated thousands of times cThere is very little original programming. Mind you this is the stations doing this and not Cogeco. Cable companies need to make a stand and stop buying stations that don’t produce enough original programming.
Cogeco on Demand is good but it can add up fast money wise if you don’t watch yourself.
Cogeco has excellent internet but TV suc packages are too expensive for the amount of stations you get.
Kodi,Roku and Apple are much harder or cumbersome to search for TV programming on the internet. This is probably why TIVO hasn’t gone away. Until someone makes that truly easier it will unfortunately be around awhile.
I like the idea of being able to bring it with you. So, we can watch live tv on the go?!
This is AWESOME! I love that you can skip commercials. They are the WORST part of tv, so this is awesome!
Thanks for sharing,i`m not sure that Tivo is available for us but I do like the sound of the service.I am so tried of cable and the cost.
We had tivo. Recently switched to sling and hulu. Much better fit for our family as we are always on the go. We do have very large data packages to cover this, but we had it before the switch because I need it for work.
I love the idea of being able to download shows to watch while you are travelling with no internet. That’s a definite bonus for me.
I love being able to skip the commercials.
I love the idea of being able to watch the shows I missed when I am traveling.
I love being able to access the app anywhere, and being able to create a one pass and record all my fav shows!
I use the Cogeco app with TIVO and its pretty slick.
I can’t imagine my life without TIVO…..I record a lot of programs & it’s so great to pick when I want to watch it…..I also use the trick you do of hitting the record button if I’m watching a LIVE show & find myself falling asleep or interrupted. Love it!
I love the one pass, it makes recording a show simple! I also love that you can record up to 6 programs at one time! I’m very happy with my TiVo service and Cogeco!
I like that u can record 6 shows at once and that the shows are up to date.
I have never heard of Tivo before. I am going to do my research on TIVO and defiantly get it! From what I’ve been reading on here, I think I’m going to love having Tivo!!
My favourite feature is: 7. I can bring my favourite shows with me when I travel. That’s really cool. I have a PVR and can’t do that. TiVo sounds awesome!
I’ve had it for about 2 years now & it’s life-changing!
This would be perfect for my daughter who is going away to college in the fall. Would help to save money by allowing her to access our Netflix account to watch tv.
Thank you for sharing your great review and experience with Tivo.I like that we can record a lot of programs,skip the ads if I want and take it with me when we travel.It’s nice to be able to record the shows I love and then watch them at my own leisure when it,s more convenient.
I thought TiVo was out of business… Thanks… learned a lot and might have some interest.
I don’t think Cogeco is available in my area but the TiVo sounds fab. I know I’ve pretty much stopped watching “live” TV since I got my DVR. it’s great to be able to fast forward through ads.
I had heard of TiVo a long time ago but my family has not had cable since I was 5 (I’m 21 now). I had cable briefly when I was 18 after I had moved out for college but found it to be so mind numbing and would wind up going ahead in my coursework while watching online stuff instead. This kind of way to control your program sounds amazing and would work amazing around my work schedule.
