Today, for a week, Fry's is selling the OTA Roamio for $38 with a promo code. Crazy
Does the OTA model have an rf remote? I cracked mine the other day.I kind of need a new Roamio remote. I might check that out.
Yep, it has the exact same RF remote that all the other Roamio models have.Does the OTA model have an rf remote? I cracked mine the other day.
Now if only we could find a cheap supply of the CableCard brackets to fit it, you could get the equivalent of a base Roamio w/lifetime for only $399.The ongoing $399 OTA w/ Lifetime deal remains my top recommendation.

What a waste, But, I could use 2 RF remotes, $38 no shipping, here I come...I kind of need a new Roamio remote. I might check that out.

You realize the Roamio remote is $34.99 at Amazon?What a waste, But, I could use 2 RF remotes, $38 no shipping, here I come...
Limit 1, bummer
And for only $3 more you get a Roamio OTA thrown in that might come in handy someday. Especially since my Roamio Plus won't do OTA if I ever decide to go that route.You realize the Roamio remote is $34.99 at Amazon?

TiVo lacks the retail sales integration that cell/mobile providers have, so they can't lock-in the service plan commitments at the point-of-sale. It's a bit of a hole in TiVo's sales/marketing that I hope not too many people take advantage of, as it can't be great for TiVo's bottom line.And for only $3 more you get a Roamio OTA thrown in that might come in handy someday.

(yet)They're identical hardware with the only exception being that the slot the CableCARD fits in has been removed from the OTA. There is a thread here where someone transplanted the CableCARD slot from the base Roamio to an OTA and it worked. So there isn't even a software difference.
