We had TiVo with cable for many years. We liked it.
That was probably why when we cut the cord, we went to Youtube TV and unlimited DVR.
YTTV has another benefit in that we can start a program like news from the beginning whenever we start dinner and switch to the Family Room TV seamlessly as dinner ends. We could not do that with TiVo.
I am still finding things that YTTV offers… like a movies section that shows all the movies that will be on the various YTTV provide channels for you to mark for recording w/o going to each channel individually.
Sports is about all we watch live… the rest is DVR and skip commercials. I am so tired of those Fund raising ?charity? commercials on the news channels.
