$549 for lifetime service brings the price to $749.99 for Edge with AIP/Lifetime.

Before buying, compare. The Bolt with lifetime is $299.99 with lifetime service is also a good deal, but $299.99 with AIP is a 500gb/1TB drive while the Edge has a 2TB.

And then your cable company stops supporting or giving out cable cards and you are stuck with a heavy and expensive paperweight.

Or you cancel cable like everyone is nowdays and this device will never have all your apps to choose from.

This wont pull OTA either

Cable companies want the monthly revenue. Once the cablecard is installed and running they'll be happy to keep collecting.

As for OTA, good point. Better to get a bolt for $300 with service that does cable or ota? No fees and full flexibility.

Or if you really are ready to cut the cord, maybe a fire stick or Tivo stream 4K.

Tivo is dying - this coming from a long time user with a spouse who will be particularly pissed when they finally dissappear.

Yup....DW won't be happy...often read of other options for OTA recording, but TiVo has been so great for our purposes... sometimes actually recording 4 channels at once. OTA with one or two streaming services has been all we've desired. Guess we'll hope and see ...

750 plus tax is too expensive for this product. Especially since Tivo has abandoned all development on it. Also The Bolt is about 15% slower which most people would even notice yet half the price of the Edge. I'd say it would be slick at $600 all in maybe.

People have been saying TiVo's dying for years, yet, they are still here. Sure, you can cut the cord, but streaming is not as easy or slick as TiVo. I have both in my home plus a TiVo and streaming on my boat. Some are cable, others OTA. Still work as intended.

Until June 15 (or while supplies last), you can buy a TiVo Edge for cable with lifetime for $649 with free shipping - just add sales tax. Use the code GODAD for the $300 discount: Buy TiVo EDGE, BOLT, Mini and more. [tivo.com]

Email I received from TiVo states in the fine print that All In Plan is $399.99.

Bolt for $300-$350 all in with 500gb-1tb is still a better deal. Also, Bolt for cable or cable/antenna can be downgraded to TE3. The Edge is stuck at TE4.

I had TiVo for years, and one way it's dying is if you have any channels going to IPTV. Comcast recently did this for a bunch of international channels, and cablecards/TiVo don't support them. And going to the Xfinity DVR, I still miss TiVo a lot, but nothing I can do once they switch channels over to IPTV.

I hear you. Sucks when your hand is forced. Lucky for me, the channels I watch on cable still work.

Tivo user since 2006 and Optimum last year (re)imposed Switched Digital Video. They couldn't source tuning adapters until Feb of this year, so I was missing a bunch of channels until then.
And when I pick up the tuning adapters from the walk in center?
The Techs on the phone can't provision them properly.
13 different calls, and 3 truck rolls later, Optimum still can't figure it out. They sit there next to my tivos for some months not "unauthorized" and therefore useless.

In short, Optimum doesn't know how to support their own cablecard related equipment (The cisco STA1520) as apparently all the knowledge has left the building.

With this type of attitude, plus FCC stating cablecard is no longer mandatory to support, is the writing on the wall that us long time users see as "Tivo is dying." Most stats you read on cablecard users have us at less than 1% of the subscriber base. We aren't worth supporting, and I get it. Still stings.

It has been mentioned here to a degree, but perhaps not enough detail provided. Cable companies are no longer required to provide cable card support:

https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/0904...-124A1.pdf

Because of this, many of us are under the impression that products like this are a dying breed. HDHomerun has directly abandoned development to focus directly on OTA. So I am not saying this particular product is good or bad, just be aware that more companies could completely abandon product development (and/or eventually support) out of fear cable companies will no longer offer the required cable card.
