So I made a bit of an impulse decision and picked up a Premiere on craigslist for $50. It is a 4 tuner Premiere with 45 hours of recording capacity, so I am guessing it is the Premiere 4. It is for the bedroom. I grilled its previous owner on how long it was active and such and he had it going for about three years. It has been deactivated for three months. I am hoping for $99 lifetime. Failing that, it is going in the closet to backup my Roamio should it fail. Worst case is that I am out $50 and have the piece of mind of a backup. Best case is I can get a lifetimed Premiere in the bedroom for an investment of $150 and $3/mo to TWC. I am going to call at the end of the 30 day window and try to get it.
The thing is that I came to the TiVo game late. My Roamio Basic is my first and only TiVo. What is going to be worse about the Premiere v the Roamio I am used to? What will it be missing? How differently will it perform? I won't be able to set it up for maybe up to two weeks so I am just curious. I have no doubt, assuming it is mechanically sound, that it will do what I need it to, but what exactly did I buy? How will it be different from the Roamio experience I am used to?
