Is TiVo worth it anymore?
So I have a TiVo along with FiOS and I get that I'm saving $$ on equipment fees and getting TiVo's service but I just don't know if it's worth it anymore.
So, what has happened for it to first be noisy then go quiet again? Its in the middle between the MB and the hard drive.
There are so many Internet based services now and watch anywhere devices for TVs along with SmartTVs with integrated apps, that I feel an annual (or lifetime) subscription isn't worth the value anymore. What is TiVo actually giving us?
Hydra is awful. The mobile app leaves alot to be desired. You still have to pay for cable to use TiVo (or OTA route) but I just don't see why I have to buy the equipment and pay for their service, when I can get SlingTV, YouTube TV etc. Have DVR functions and still get by furthermore the equipment is a fraction of the cost, Chromecast, Etc.
Would love to hear some thoughts.
