For anyone that has purchased a Roamio OTA, and/or MINI, I have the following questions:
Besides the size difference, why wouldn't someone just buy a Roamio OTA to share shows over the network with other TiVo Premieres or Roamio's? I assume Roamio OTA will be able to see any other TiVo, and this seems to be a good way to get some Roamio capability, along with Amazon Prime and VuDu support on that unit as well (same as Mini). I also assume the Roamio's can see my Premieres for shuffling shows, versus the Mini which can't work with two tuner Premieres.
Given that Roamio OTA's can be purchased for $50, plus $14.95 (not sure if multi-unit discount applies for $12.95) for 12 months - the cost is $50 + $180 = $230...this seems to be much better than a TiVo Mini for $149 and adding on service.
Keep this in mind, I have two TiVo Premiere's (each have 2 tuners) and a TiVo Stream already. TiVo Mini for me doesn't make sense (regardless) to extend a box into a third room, but the Roamio OTA seems to be a good option...and would seem to be better for anyone with Roamio's too, right?
On the Roamio OTA, I only assume that after 12 months that a multi-unit discount would apply or at somepoint they would add $99 or $199 lifetime subscription option for those who completed their initial service committment.
What am I missing? Appreciate your thoughts.
