What is the easiest way to add APPS to my Roamio OTA? (espn+, Google Play Store, ect.) you get the idea.
What (extra) equipment might be needed? Is it possible?

I know I can switch back to my smart TV--but that is a pain.
thanks, Rocky

Use something else, like a Roku or get a smart TV.

Google play store? Tivo is not a phone. It's quite limited.

As mentioned, the Tivo ecosystem is not app friendly, if it's not listed in the Tivo list, it can't be added, and even the apps in it are not as good as you would find on a streamer such as a Roku or Chromecast

Same as any other Tivo, and only with the supplied apps.

While I can't speak to adding app that can pay you real money (sounds a little too good to be true, if you know what I mean!), there are definitely ways to turn your TiVo experience into a goldmine of entertainment. Here's what I'm thinking: Imagine using those commercial breaks to hustle through some side hustles on your phone. You could be learning a new skill with an online course, crushing a quick workout video, or even doing a micro-challenge that earns you a few bucks. Before you know it, those commercials that used to drag on could be turning into mini-moneymakers!
