Posted in: UncategorizedTiVo, a pioneer of digital-video recorders, is offering a DVR for people who don’t pay for cable or satellite TV services, adding to cord-cutters’ toolkit for watching TV without an expensive monthly pay-TV bill.
The TiVo Roamio OTA DVR can record content from broadcast networks including ABC, CBS and NBC, as well as stream internet video from Netflix and YouTube, according to a statement today. The device costs $49.99 with service fees of $14.99 per month and a one-year commitment, and will be available at Best Buy stores starting Sept. 14.
“Many top TV shows in America are available with a simple HD antenna,” TiVo Chief Marketing Officer Ira Bahr said in the statement. “We recognize some viewers opt not to receive the benefits a subscription with a cable provider offers.”
