How would TiVo work with the Google guide on this TV? Does it conflict? Can I switch between the two?

It works fine. I use the TiVo remote 100% of the time. The TiVo remote performs basically the same as the LG remote.

1. I don't have TiVo, but I have Comcast DVR. It works flawlessly, when you click "Guide" it will collect the guide listings from Comcast and it would populate them in order (Favorites, Movies, Comedy, TV etc...) and the best part of that is it shows an image of the listings. You could also favorite the channels you like (i.e. I marked channels that are HD's and came with my Comcast package). When you double click "Guide" it will show listings from the box itself. As for recordings, you can toggle from the "Menu" and scroll through to record or just press record on the other remote (TiVo or Comcast). 2. No 3. Yes

This TiVo Roamio is made specifically for cable and/or over the air HD signals. It is not compatible with Satellite TV. For it to work with your cable company, call them and make sure they will support a third party receiver. Make sure you tell them it's a Tivo. You will then need to get a cable card from your cable company and install it into the Tivo, which is easy to do. My experience was seamless.

If you can tune to the local channels okay but they simply don't appear in the guide, my guess is that DirecTv does not create guide information for AM21 channels it doesn't carry on satellite. I use the TiVo THR22 and that's how it works - I have to connect to the TiVo server to get programming information for the unique locals. Besides (or because of) not being in the guide I also couldn't schedule recordings until TiVo filled in the blanks, so to speak.

We have experienced no lag on the premiere with the new Slide remote. It is faster than the cable DVR remote we use on our upstairs remote and is just as fast as the regular TiVo remote on this same set. Have you 'paired ' the new slide remote and if you did have you entered the correct code for your TV? Just guessing, but that might be an issue.

I agree, I had a Boxee on pre order and I had thought about Google TV also but then I thought, for about the same money or less I was able to hookup a nice PC to my TV via HDMI and I use a cheap Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse and it works like a dream! Plus as stated above, it does all of what a settop box will do and whole lot MORE! I had Direct TV for 12 years and I decided that I was tired of paying $70 a month for two DVR's and no premium channels. So I bought a HDTV antenna and a HTPC and I am set!

No, it connects to your wireless router to provide the Tivo guide and functionality. My cable provider rents the Tivo and it must either be connected to the internet or wirelessly to the router. I found out the hard way it stops working in a location without the internet connection. If you don't have a wireless router, get a 300 speed unit. I have a 150 and there is some lag time to load the Tivo menus.

Patty, As far as I can tell, the answer is NO. I stream amazon movies with my TIVO which is connected to my Sony Bravia. Sony had some sort of connectivity in mind because there is an Ethernet connection on the TV. Another problem is that the TV cannot find the Guide because that relies on PBS stations transmitting it,and now with digital TV it seems that they do not. Guides are available on the Intenet, but Sony does not have a program in this TV to get program guides over the Internet.

Depends on the antenna! I brought an "indoor" antenna and the image quality on most stations I think surpasses cable. But there is one, PBS (channel 11 in Chicago) that is not coming in well. Actually unwatchable due to pixilation. This has nothing to do with the Tivo, it's the antenna. So I either need to get a better antenna or switch to cable.

I found YouTube to be helpful when I set up mine. I don't have Direct TV but I found help for my TV remote.

Not sure because I have cable but the way TiVo works is by using the internet to list up two weeks of programs. Then you select from the guide what shiws you want.

It depends what version you get. This particular model in the picture will not work. I have it connected and moca does not communicate with tivo box. Ill need to re purchase the correct one

well i found out that the box is not the reason i cant watch tv it is that my FIOS box requires an active signal or a return signal to push out video. now the hdmi switch maskes the signal retuning from the tv so it reguiers some thing like an XBOX or a google chromecast to push out a signal to mimic the tvs return signal to the FIOS box. I dont know if you dish box requires an active signal to push out media. so i would try contacting dish to see if they can tell you the correct answer.

I don't have Tivo so I don't know. I can tell you that if you plug the hard drive to your TV, it'll play.

"What am i getting for that charge?" You're getting ripped off. I'm a long-time TiVo user, having purchased my first Series 1 in 1999 and upgrading several times. I've suggested TiVo purchases to dozens of people over the years. Unfortunately, TiVo is seriously behind the current technology and still has a very closed ecosystem. To make up for their lack of up to date technology and closed ecosystem, they increase their service and lifetime fees. It's not a good business plan, which in part explains their stock price. For anyone with a little bit of technical know-how, it's far more cost effective to get an HTPC and TV tuner. If you are going to record OTA, most tuners will be fine. If you need a cable card, the HDHomeRun works very well. Many services on an HTPC will get you free program guide information. An HTPC is also more open, so it opens up more possibilities. It's also much more future-proof than TiVo's closed ecosystem. TiVo has a long history of not upgrading software except on the latest model in an effort to pry more money from existing TiVo subscribers through upgrades.

I returned my logitech Revue because I could not connected with the local cable service provider. Other than, the Revue browser worked just as well as Bill's, same access. My current internet player and Revue both use android 3.? and google TV, same content just different hardware. I can get both of your queries on my present box . Hope this will help

Get the Google TV Remote app on a tablet or smart phone. Works perfect on my Sony Google TV.
