It's made for cable subscribers and cord cutters alike.
Both the cable and the antenna model boast easy one-screen navigation between apps and all major streaming services, live and online TV, and recordings. They both have superior Dolby audio and visual quality, along with all the fan favorites like Auto Skip/SkipMode, OnePass, and universal search.

For cable TV enthusiasts, TiVo EDGE for cable provides a service unlike others and allows for a seamless cable experience on top of all of that. It includes a 2 TB hard drive (up to 300 HD hours) along with 6 tuners.Introducing TiVo EDGE - TiVo Blog

For cord cutters, TiVo EDGE helps you find and record hundreds of free over-the-air HD shows that you can get with an antenna. Then you can skip eligible ads or set your TiVo EDGE to skip commercials automatically. It has a 2 TB hard drive (up to 300 HD hours) and 4 tuners. Think of all the money you'll save having access to ad-skippable content from all of the major networks, every month. Make sure to pick up a good HD antenna (we recommend something like this).

Yeah just too much money. Although ...to be fair, from past experience the price falls pretty rapidly. Within a year I wouldn't doubt if you see deals for $600-$700 with lifetime.

Still at this point ...I would get a new 65" or 55" tv and a pretty good one for $999 or so instead of dropping $950 on this. And the tv would be my streaming box as a lot of these tvs are quite good at streaming now.

I dont get it .. from an EX tivo user ..but still interested
Why would you spend 15.00 a month for service when comcast is 10.00 (I have comcast)

One-click ad skipping is awesome.
Comcast's 500gb maximum storage is, in the age of HD (and coming 4k) ridiculously small. X1 Cloud DVR I'm actually unhappy at the Edge's limit of 2TB.
Cable cards & wires are, for me, definitely among life's lesser irritations.

Comcast's compressed feed for their X1 cloud DVR is horrible. Most people have no idea what a really good TV picture looks like.
Plus the X1 interface is just terrible. I don't want thumbnail pics of everything. When I tried X1 the comcast guy told me the horrible picture was the best I was going to get with their compressed signal. I had him take it back and kept my old Motorola box which is crystal clear, gorgeous picture. There is no way comcast can get a great picture with that much compression.
You need a local drive based DVR, so Tivo fits the bill.

Why is Tivo trying so hard to be.....not Tivo? I don't get the idea of eschewing everything that made you stand out.

New CEO and Design lead should be terminated.

Probably but the Tivo_Ted guy mentioned in the other thread that the Edge will support Sony TV low profile DV. They have the firmware and are testing it. Will see. Apple took less than a week to issue the new firmware so I don't think it will take TiVo too long.

I bought a TiVo bolt and it was such a piece of that sh#t That’s the last TiVo I will buy. It had a lifetime service and quit in a year. No video output. I have had a TiVo since the original series 1 and I will never buy another one. Just my opinion that the quality has gone down so much. I do still have a two tuner Premier this still working great. Will look for another option from now on

I presume you're to disappointed in TiVo to even try to call them and see if you can get a free/cheap replacement with lifetime transfer.

My parents had a TiVo HD in which the hard drive failed. When asked what to do, I told them to avoid the newest TiVo model and just get a new drive. I won't be responsible for forcing (pre-roll) ads on them.
You might also want to recommend a warrantied Roamio or Premier from Weaknees. Those units may be the last great DVRs that TiVo will ever produce, plus they will roll back to TE3 and avoid all the new ads.

Their website has 4 tuners listed for the cable model when you click the Buy Now button., even though blog says its 6 and other places on website. So they have already messed up their advertising. Looks like no one proof read the website or they eliminated 2 tuners.
Its 399.00. I ordered one because I was waiting to get rid of my last Comcast Motorola Box and its starting to have issues its so old. But they made me buy a monthly plan when I ordered this even though I have one with my Bolt. So do you have to pay a monthly plan for each main Tivo DVR? Are they not all on same account, one plan?

Why would you spend 15.00 a month for service when comcast is 10.00 (I have comcast)

Why would you deal with a cable card mess

Why would you deal with wires ...now that comcast is wireless ..

Plus many more small things

Why would you buy a Mercedes when a Hyundai is so much cheaper?! Why would you eat at a nice restaurant when fast food is so much cheaper? I love how everything TCF comes down to $$$. Who says male techies are obsessed with the cost of things?

TiVO is $150 yearly ($12.50) no matter how many TV's you have using Minis.

The TiVO Edge is just a model refresh. TiVO does this every 3 years and it's been 4 years! That's a longtime in tech. Not sure why this is a surprise. The model update is driven by the Cable companies who bundle TiVO. If you are a Cable company rolling out new TiVO hardware into the field do you really want to roll out 4 year old technology?

Remember choice is a good thing.

I wonder if the user-agreement for the new Edge says the user agrees to the pre-rolled ads?

They are willing to remove the ads for us right now on the other platforms, but if it was part of the original agreement there would be no reason or obligation for TiVo to turn them off.

Any idea if we'll see loyalty pricing for existing customers? I recall seeing that a few years back. Of course, they released this just as I got my bolt back from the seemingly all too common HDD failure :(

While it looks decent, I don't see enough that makes me want to pull out my credit card...

Interesting, the cable Bolts are gone from the TiVo website. Only the Bolt OTA is still there, probably while supplies last. It's 1TB and $250, vs. the 2TB $350 Edge for antenna. The Edge for cable has 2TB and is $400.

Just looking. I'm actually likely to sell off our Bolt and downsize to just the Roamio Pro and v2 Minis here, and as mentioned above we rely on the Fire TV Stick 4K for streaming now. There are no 4K cable channels here.

I'm also planning an HD HomeRun and Channels DVR system in a parallel test setup as we plan for the future while Rovi continues to run TiVo into the ground. But there's a TiVo Alternatives thread for that discussion.

My suspicion is that TiVo will keep selling the Bolt OTA as the "cheaper" cord-cutting option while supplies last. After they are sold out, I expect them to release a 2-tuner Edge OTA with a 1TB hard drive as the "cheaper" option, as was rumored a while ago, to compete directly with the Amazon DVR and Tablo 2-tuner budget options.
