Looking for some advice on the possibility of switching to Tivo for my Fios setup. I currently pay $79/mo on equipment alone (MRDVR, 3 DVRs and a plain HD box), or approx $950 annually. I like this set up and definitely do not want Quantum.
I was researching the Tivo Roamio with 4 mini boxes but realized that each mini uses one of the 6 tuners on the Roamio for live TV, which won't work for me.
My question is, would I be able to use 2 Roamios (I'd get a Roamio and a Roamio plus and 3 minis? If both Roamios can be seen by all the other boxes, this would be ideal.
I presume I'd need to pay a separate service fee for each Roamio ($300/year) to make this happen? Even so, with the cablecards, this setup pays for itself in approx 1 1/2 years and then I gain $500/year in savings (first year = $1050 hardware + $300 service + $120 cards = $1470, then $420 per year thereafter).
Will this work?
If so, what are the downsides to this versus Verizon's equipment?
Is the IMG the same? What about guide info? VOD?
Any pics would be awesome to see how it interfaces with Fios.
Who services these if there's an issue? I assume Verizon still supports their wiring into the house but what about a Tivo box issue?
Will my external drive work or will I lose all that I have recorded?
If I do this, do I just order a cable card and arrange with CS the return of all my equipment? I'm sure Verizon is not thrilled when this happens!
Thanks in advance!!
