TiVo's latest DVR goes whole home and mobile

2013-08-19
hey there I'm Josh go Mussina and this is a look at Tebow's newest DVR the Romeo yes it's a little hard to say without a chuckle but for long time TiVo users this might very well be the box you've been waiting for for those fed up with their cable providers DVR the Romeo is a convincing argument for dumping them once and for all the Romeo comes in three versions a standard Romeo and Plus and pro models this is the pro version which can record up to six shows at once to three terabytes of storage or up to 450 hours of HD programming the plus drops the storage amount holding up to a hundred and fifty hours of HD while the base Romeo records up to 75 hours of HD and has four tuners instead of six however while the plus and pro are CableCARD only the standard has support for cable card and over-the-air TV now inside all of them is new hardware for speed ur performance and for the first time built-in Wi-Fi moving around the interface which has been updated slightly is quicker and apps launched faster the latest versions of Netflix and YouTube were on here too and thanks to Romeo's new html5 platform there will be more apps coming soon there are other new additions such as what to watch now which shows you what's on at the time you're watching but broken down into categories so if you're looking for a kids show or sporting event to watch you can find something fast on top of all that the Romeo plus and pro models also have the capabilities of TiVo's string device built in so you can use that to wirelessly view live and recorded TV on iOS devices currently it requires you to have the device on the same network as the Romeo but soon out of the home streaming to iOS and eventually Android devices will be available so you can stream and download shows anywhere that's just the start of what Romeo can do and also we have a new mode that's our F so you can use it just about anywhere in your room and don't even have to be line-of-sight with the device again the Romeo is packed full of features so check back for a full review soon I'm Josh : and that's a look at the Tebow
