TiVo Roamio Pro review: TiVo's new DVRs are the company's best yet

The new TiVo Roamio addresses almost every major complaint we had previously. In short, it's most definitely the TiVo you've been waiting for.

Pros
  • Very fast performanceSix tunersNow comes with an RF remoteOut-of-home streaming now an option
Cons
  • No HDMI-CECCan be pricey with lifetime serviceOut-of-home streaming isn't always smoothUpgrading from an old TiVo is still tedious
