So here’s a ongoing debate I have been having with myself (i.e. in my own overly analytical head). So what better place to come to than a forum to get some useful insight...and I'm sure some chastising :)
I have several TV viewing choices I’m currently debating. Factors include the usual buy in price, months subscription fees, and others like ease of use for the whole family (i.e. senior parent and visiting family members), integration w/ streaming services like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube. The outlying factor is what I would call “scaleability”. Particullary complicated by the rumors/news of these two biggies.
Since these things are only RUMOR at this point in time I thought I would throw it out to the Tivo Coffee House to get some seasoned Tivo owners thoughts. I’m a new TCF member and have already seen that there are some folks here that have been involved in cord-cutting/shaving for many years and many for over a decade.
So what are your thoughts on “scaleability” given the (2) rumors listed above:
Should a prospective Tivo newbie invest hundreds in a Roamio + Lifetime that will take 2-3 years to break-even?
Particularly what are your thoughts for someone like me.
*I'm not hating on Tivo, actually I really like the Tivo product and service, but mostly concerned if there are big changes coming to the streaming local TV segment that could, for the first time, move me from cord-shaver to cord-cutter (again I do not live in an area where an antenna can get me local tv).

- The pending July 2015 announcement from Tivo regarding the new services/equipment offerings that will utilize their recent acquisition of Aereo.
- The ever pending/delayed rumor of a new AppleTV that may have streaming of local network TV.

- cannot get OTA where I am
- cannot forego live sports or live network tv news. So I’ll be a cord-shaver for the time being.
- local options are limited to Cox and Directv here in Orange County, CA.
