I'm new to eBay selling and have purchased on eBay for many years. I hope you'll give me the opportunity to make your purchasing experience easy and positive!
I'm a big fan of Tivo OTA and cut our cable 2 years ago. We purchased this mini to add a 4th tv room to the main Tivo Roamio box. While the unit functions correctly (now), the process of "unsubscribing" it from its former box, plus paying $49 to Tivo to "activate" this box was additional time and expense I had not counted on. The process took me 3 days of follow up calls with Tivo, and in hindsight I might have simply purchased a brand new mini instead of one of the earliest models; for the aforementioned reasons I'm rating this 4 stars instead of 5 stars.
Having said that, having a TIVO box and the associated mini boxes has been a wonderful alternative to cable, as we have been able to record OTA (over the air) programming in HD and we also can stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, Pandora, etc.
