The TiVo Roamio Summer Sale

TiVo’s out with price cuts across their line

First, now is probably not the time to buy a Roamio OTA. With TiVo planning a “late July” announcement in regards to their recently acquired Aereo trademark, it’s best for cord cutters to hold off… unless another amazing deal comes along. I also wouldn’t recommend the base Roamio, as it lacks streaming and MoCA bridging — especially when those features, plus 2 additional tuners and 500GB more storage, can be had for just fifty bucks more — assuming you’re OK with cable-only and a warrantied refurb.

But possibly the most unusual aspect of this deal is sale pricing on Lifetime Service. Lifetime is rarely discounted, generally running $500 for new customers and $400 for existing TiVo households. Yet, this promo brings it down to a reasonable $350 price point.

So here are my recommendations and the breakdown, should you not qualify for 10 year customer loyalty pricing:

  • Refurb TiVo Roamio Plus (1TB) @ $200 + $350 Lifetime = $550
  • Refurb TiVo Pro (3TB) @ $300 + $350 Lifetime = $650
