I have been a long time TiVo owner, you can see from all my posts and how long I been a member here, and I am "kind of sort of" debating to stop using my TiVo and go streaming and OTA antenna only.
I had a problem the other day with my OTA setup and everything that was recorded was unwatchable. I still wanted to watch the shows and I found everything I missed online streaming somewhere.
That made me think and then I signed up for a trial of Hulu and just about everything, 52 out of 57 SP's, I have a SP for is there. Even complete seasons are there so I don't need to save everything anymore. One difference is you have to watch them 1 day after they air and that is fine to me. I watch 90% network shows and the streaming quality is good enough especially for shows like that. I know some want the 4k or higher quality and I can understand that.
It was almost like I have an unlimited space DVR and I don't have to worry about making SP's or forgetting to record something as its just there. I could watch the shows anytime I want, skip, rewind, pause and all that. I can also watch them from pretty much any device, HDTV or computer and anywhere.
I know if you lose internet you can't watch anything, but I can't think of many bad things if I do this.
I realize this is a TiVo forum and a lot of you are hard core TiVo people :up: but has anyone else done or tried this and what was your experience???
