I'm currently working on cutting my TWC service. So far I managed to get an OTA digital antenna & wireless A/B switch. Both work good for my current setup.
Room #1: TWC Digital Cable DVR & Cable Internet (analog tv)
Room #2: TWC connected via outlet (analog tv)
Room #3: TWC connected via outlet & OTA digital antenna (HDTV with PC connection)
My TWC plan is basic / standard / digital on a Digital Cable DVR. The tvs in Room #1 & Room #2 are going to be replaced with
Internet enabled HDTVs.
I was originally planning on dropping my TWC cable service completely, and keeping just the Cable Internet. But there are some standard cable channels that I really like to keep. So that leaves me down to Basic / Standard TWC & Cable Internet. I don't mind losing
those hundreds on digital cable channels I barely watch. What hurts is being without the DVR. Yeah it's a PITA most of the times. But it
makes watching different tv shows a lot easier.
If / when I lose my TWC DVR would a TIVO work for me? Would it be a good DVR for me? I've heard about them for several years, but never used one before. I don't know anyone that has one to check it out either. How do they work? Do they run on one or multiple tvs? How much do they cost? Are they one time payment or subscription based? Do I need anything from TWC to make it work?
Possible future setup:
Room #1: TWC basic / standard cable (connected via outlet) & TiVo DVR (Internet enabled HDTV) & Cable Internet
Room #2: TWC basic / standard cable (connected via outlet) (Internet enabled HDTV)
Room #3: TWC basic / standard cable (connected via outlet) & OTA digital antenna (HDTV with PC connection)
Thx for the help.
