My cable company used these Tivo-branded Arris devices as STBs for years. https://zatznotfunny.com/2017-02/tivo-heads-back-future-new-... They are now upgrading to a tiny Android TV device that streams TV over IP. It draws 10W max and has a better Youtube and Plex app than the old one. It still has the Tivo interface for TV shows, but now I can rewind live TV and start shows up to 3 days after they air.
I am genuinely curious if they are using actual Tivos. I gave up on my Cable card hdhomerun box due to the pain it caused and just went with their dual over the air digital tuner and Plex. Do old devices even work with anything these days?
I am using actual TiVos. Roamio with a multi-stream cable card and some satellite TiVo minis. I have no cable company owned equipment in my house (other than the cable card) for TV, phone, and internet that I get from cable.
Now, Iām considering dumping cable TV service, because the price over value has gotten kind of stupid, but for now, I still have TiVos in service and they have a good story for digital cable as well.
