  • why I won't be getting the new roamio

    so, only the basic unit has antenna capability??? AND - if you use that you can't use a cable card?? what's up with that? is there some technical reason for this decision??

    It means I can't replace my series 3 with a roamio. ugh!

    The reason is that the chipset used in the TiVo can only deal with one or the other...cable OR antenna. But we feel your pain.

      Of course another sad issue is that to spend all that money on upgrading a tivo, like series III to roamio, they force you to purchase a new lifetime service instead of letting you transfer the one you already have. Doesn't seem like a very good selling point.

        Correct. It's called "Product Lifetime Service" and it is good for the life of the TiVo, not your life.
