TiVo + OTA + Internet

Hey viewers.



I'm new to this forum and have never used a TiVo before, but I've heard great things, so please excuse the basic questions.

I'm a current Verizon FIOS customer for cable, internet and phone and am pretty well fed up with paying $195+ per month for a bundled service. I'm hoping to halve that.

I've been reviewing a DVR+OTA (TiVo Roamio + Mohu Sky) options to cut the cable, and an Ooma to cut the phone, so I came across the TiVo Roamio with the OTA antenna option.



I have some questions and would be interested in any feedback and opinions:

1. Does TiVo charge a fee for using an HD antenna, or is that part of the current $14.99 monthly service fee?

2. Can I buy a lifetime service for the TiVo unit in say, 12 months, or does it have to be upfront?

3. Have any Verizon customers had to pay an early termination fee, if they want to unbundle their package and just keep the internet service? (Mine is $230 and I have 16 months remaining on my contract). Will Verizon even allow you to have internet only?

4. Provided I can have internet only, can I connect the Roamio to an antenna with the coax, AND the internet with the ethernet port?

4. I noticed a large selection of channels available with the Roku. Is it possible to record channels from say a Roku to the Roamio?



Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.
