Does this work with Tivo Roamio? I've had problems with other switches and need one that works with TivoRoamio, Xbox360, and PS4

Hidy hidy - I was able to test with Xbox 360, PS4, 3 Windows computers and two MAC's, various other things like video recorders, iPads, iPods and a DVR and a DVD player. It switched automatically to primary when I'd deactivate another item (playing Xbox, turned it off and it auto-switched to my computer.) I can't say for sure with the Tivo Roamio, but I'd be surprised if it didn't.

Whether or not this will work with or without a hub is really dependent on the console, not the remote. The remote can technically be programmed to operate any A/V component with an IR remote sensor, it's just a question of how patient you are with the programming. Most, like myself, are not very patient. If the XBOX One or PS4 have IR remote sensors, this remote will work, eventually. But don't bother. Even though it's only a few years old, it's already dated in style and function. I rated it pretty highly years ago, which is probably why I was one of the people Amazon asked to answer this question, but I would honestly suggest you try a different product. I used it for a year before I got tired of it. Mine is now forgotten in a dark corner of my house. Having 1 universal remote makes the coffee table tidier, but usability becomes more challenging because the same buttons can perform different functions depending on the device you selected. And if you have 5 pieces like I did, it gets confusing. I've often pressed the wrong button or had it set to one component when I meant to control another. Heaven help you if you have 18 components like this is designed to handle. A year late, I just laid out a nice leather valet to put all my remotes in. Takes up more space, but because each remote is unique in appearance and function, it worked out better for me. Look for something that was released this year, maybe from the Harmony family, if you want to be sure of compatibility with next-gen consoles. Though, just because it came out this year, doesn't mean it's certain to be compatible. I have a feeling the XBOX One & PS4 use Bluetooth, just like the PS3 did. This remote definitely does not do Bluetooth. My PS3 was the one device this could not control.

i have the tivo roamio with ota antenna support and tivo mini. all 4 tuners can be used to record on the roamio. The mini dynamically takes away one tuner when using it.

I use this with Directv to expand my DVR recording capabilities. It has worked very well. I had a problem with it about 6 months after I purchased it where it wouldn't work. We had lots of data on it that we didn't want to lose. I sent it back to them and they were able to fix it without losing our data. I was very pleased with there service. I am not familiar with Tivo.

As far as I know, it will only work with the TiVo adaptor. The TiVo adaptor plugs into the Ethernet port of the TiVo, not into a USB port. Yet, I agree with the other answers here that if the adaptor uses Ethernet connection, then it's possible that a third party adaptor would work.

It works with anything that uses HDMI to connect to your TV. Although I am not sure if it differs in video quality but on my PS4 1080p and Chromecast 720p to 1080p the quality is the same no matter if its connected directly or trough the pigtail switcher.

There is a slight lag when using the keyboard, but when using basic TiVo features on the face of the remote it is leaps and bounds greater than the original. I am using a TiVo Premiere XL with this remote, so if you have the new Roamio I dont have a clue how it will do. I love mine.

From your cable company you get their digital tier and that's it! Don't get any of their equipment except for one cable card, some cable companies also have a cable tuner that goes with it (Time Warner, maybe others). From Tivo you can either go monthly for their service or get a lifetime subscription. I like the lifetime subscription since you pay once and then never get another bill from them again. Oh lifetime is lifetime of the unit not you! The only thing you can't do with the Tivo is request anything on demand. So pay per view or anything like that won't work. You can get your premium channels from your cable company like HBO, Sports etc, anything that is just a channel where you don't have to click to watch. If you want the best out of the Roamio I would suggest you have ethernet wired to all your locations, just my thoughts on it, but then I was already wired that way so that's the setup I went with. ENJOY!!!!

Most likely this would work. This will allow your tivo to change the channels on your cable box, using the tivo remote.

The short answer is "yes". its instruction book gives the code to enter into the remote, for TiVo as the DVR of your choice. While I don't use TiVo currently, I am familiar with it from owning it in the past (before we got FIOS), and am confident that the controls on this remote will be comfortable for the basic functions of TiVo. However there is no remote in the world that is as well designed, from a human-factors viewpoint, as TiVO. Groping for buttons in the dark is easier with TiVo's remote than any other. They really set the standard. So you may miss that aspect if you give it up.

Yes I bought one and plugged it into my Xbox One, and it works most excellently. I use it for my cable box and my LG tv. Makes the Xbox One media remote a must have.

I'm not sure. I had to return it because it wasn't the correct one for my TiVo!!

I use it with my DirecTV DVR and it works fine. It's a little complicated (for me) to install and remove, but once done, it works well on my Directv dvr. Hope this helps.
