Pros & Cons
Pros
Life is good. Boy am i glad i did. Loving my tivo's. Tivo is the best. Thanks tivo for a great product. I can't thank you enough.
The most important thing is to follow the instructions. Everything works when we want it. This process could be improved.
Cons
Never worked out of the box - not once. The insult to injury comes later when you are stuck with tivo's monthly dvr fees you are under contract to for a year - for a system that never worked from day one.
Highlights
Quality
The lag is minimal or not noticeable when changing channels pic quality is fantastic the apps work great
So far i have no problems with the minis
Only thing is id definitely recommend spending the extra bit to get a model that works with the rf remote
Price
Great price worked wonderfully with my current full price system
Packaging/appearance
In case you dont know every mini takes a tuner to watch live tv from the roamio
Was nice to get a deal better than they offer on their website
I went back to the roamio again the mini was not hooked up and lo and behold an error message
Then i ordered the tivo mini to complement the roamio
Competitiveness
I now have 3 tivo minis attached to my roamio via network connection
I already had one tivo mini with my roamio ota and wanted to add another one to a tv in my den
I skipped the moca and used some dlink powerline network adapters and i have zero issues with bandwidth
I just had to give it 5 stars to offset the 2star and 3star reviews from other people who were burned by their cable provider
