 TiVo - Roamio Plus DVR - Black
TiVo - Roamio Plus DVR - Black
TiVo Roamio Plus DVR: Expand your entertainment options with a DVR and streaming media player in 1 device. Record up to 6 shows at once and access streaming services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube and more.
 

Please clarify

If I were to buy a TiVo Roamio can I get local broadcast programming by just having an Internet connection? The information is a bit confusing and don't want to end up buying TiVo then having to subscribe to a cable package too. I might as well just get cable tv.
No, You can add a HD Antenna on some models to get your local programming if you can get an HD signal where you are. Otherwise you need a TV Service Provider. It will use Netflix, Hulu, Pandora and other content over the net but no local programming.

Comcast connectivity

I want to replace my 2 rented Comcast devises will the TiVo roamio plus dvr work on 2 tv's in different rooms?
Also does it take a Comcast smart/descramble card that I have to pay Comcast for in order for the TiVo to be activated and work?
You need a cable card for the Tivo to work. They usually run ~$5.00 a month on Verizon, I would think the same for Comcast.
The Tivo will only work with one TV, but if you buy a Tivo Romeo (4 tuners) you can also add a Tivo Mini Box and use that in your 2nd room, and the Tivo Mini doesn't require another cable card.
So you will need to buy a Tivo Romeo + Tivo Mini. You can also add another Tivo Mini if you have another room. Right Now the Tivo Mini is ~$150.00 and includes lifetime service.

Fios VOD?

Does the new Roamio boxes work with Video On Demand for Verizon Fios as Comcast VOD does?
My understanding is no. I have FIOS and lost VOD when I switched.

 TiVo® - Mini - Black
TiVo® - Mini - Black
TiVo Mini: Access all the entertainment from your main TiVo DVR anywhere in your home with TiVo Mini. Watch live or recorded shows, manage your recordings, search for shows and movies and stream entertainment for a seamless TiVo experience in any room.
 

Monthly fees?

Are there any monthly fees involved after purchasing a TiVo? Also can you use it in replacement of a Comcast DVR?
When you buy a Tivo you also need to purchase a service plan.
$14.99 a month or $149.99 Annually or $499.99 Product Lifetime Service. Check the Tivo website for the most recent info on the service plans.
I usually go for the Product Lifetime Service, if you compare what you spend for a Comcast DVR ~$20.00 a month you usually breakeven around 2½ years.
You also need a cable card from you cable company, they usually charge ~$5.00 a month for them.
