Open Box TiVo Edge Antenna DVR - 500GB (with All-In Service)

New box was easy to set up. Tivo gave me some problems, but they finally fixed everything. I hope thank you.

Tried a different brand and it was so bad I sent it back. Looked online and the TiVo was top rated so thought I would give it a try. Am glad I did the picture is excellent and my wife and I record a lot of stuff to be watched at a later time as well as recording one program while watching another. The other unit that I sent back listed all of the channels received but didn't have a guide to tell you what was on each channel but the TiVo does and that is a very big deal as far as the wife and I are concerned. This unit also is picking up more channels than the other unit and there is no pixelation. Am very happy with the TiVo and am thinking about getting a second remote so the wife and I each have one and don't have to go looking for it. The remote is programable to handle several other devices and now the one remote handles all of my devices. This is one of the best buys I've made in a while. Am very happy with my purchase.

I purchased the TIVO Edge to replace my old CM7500 mainly because they stopped supporting the guide. The unit was simple and straightforward to set up. TIVO support was excellent and had my account set up very quickly. The guide populated immediately and far outshines the old guide having more detailed information. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is because the preamp seems weaker than the CM7500. I have one local PBS channel that exhibits dropouts. Channel Master support admitted this a shortcoming with the TIVO and advised me to buy their external preamp. After installing it, the signal was improved but not perfect. This was never a problem with the CM7500 using the same attic-mounted Channel Master antenna with no preamp. Fortunately, there are a couple of other PBS stations that I am receiving with no problems. Overall, I am very pleased with the performance and operation of the TIVO.

I had an older OTA Tivo for about 12 years. It finally quit and I was without my Tivo for 8 months. Channel Master then offered the open box OTA Edge and I got one. Life is good again. I can record what I need, time shift programs, and the amount of suggestion programing.is nearly endless.

Well I started out with several competitors, much cheaper. Returned all of them!! I've decided to get rid of my Verizon FIOS cable TV, BEST DECISION I've ever made! So I had a Channel Master Advantage 45 w/PreAMP 1. After the installation, I now get an Incredible amount of channels, 4 times more than FIOS! And the CLARITY & RESOLUTION of the TV picture is Amazing! But didn't have any way to record shows, pause or rewind the TV show. So I purchased a number of "other" TV DVR type devices and below are the ones I returned.
1st: Tablo 4th Gen, easy setup, but the problem with this was TV cable terminated at the TABLO box which meant that my TV's will be aquiring the TV signal through WIFI. Degrading the signal a bit. Didn't want that. Lousey instructions to add. RETURNED IT.
2nd: Mediasonic HomeWorx ATSC: Never got it to work. NO INSTRUCTIONS. Just Didn't like it. RETURNED IT.
3rd: Silcondust ATSC 1.0 HDHOMERUN FLEX QUATRO (HDFX-4US): Same thing NO INSTRUCTIONS, difficut to connect. TV connection thru Wifi. No Good. RETURNED IT.
***4th: TIVO EDGE for TV Antenna: BINGO! Very easy to Install. Worked like a charm. No degradtion of TV Picture, I sware it looks even better! Very easy to record, pause, rewind etc. Channel Directory/Schedule Much Clearer, Better than all of them, even FIOS!!! Very easy to manipulate through the stations, more TV APPS! VERY HAPPY WITH IT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! And it's worth the high price!!! Don't consider the others.
