- narrowrail 11y agoThis never came up in my research (although I was biased against Tivo), but I just checked and it said: "$14.99 Monthly service with 1-year commitment" Do you (or anyone else) know if the Tivo will work without an internet connection?
- joezydeco 11y agoYes, it will work without an internet connection. I bought a Roamio OTA for my mother-in-law, who has no internet. I set it up at my place (it usually wants to upgrade to latest firmware over wifi when you unbox it), scanned for the OTA channels, then I took it to her place and wired it up. The operation without monthly activation is bare-bones. I mean, you don't even get channel or station names. But you can tune to prescanned OTA channels and watch tv and pause it live.
