Roamio

Roamio is a line of digital video recorders (DVRs) and streaming devices produced by TiVo. The first Roamio models were released in 2014, offering integrated TiVo DVR functionality with access to streaming services. These devices were designed to consolidate television viewing and on-demand content into a single interface.

Key features of the Roamio series typically included the ability to record live television, skip commercials, and manage recordings. They also provided access to popular streaming applications such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Instant Video. Some Roamio models included built-in tuners for over-the-air antenna reception, while others required a cable card for satellite or cable TV services.

The Roamio line offered various configurations, differing in storage capacity and the number of tuners available. This allowed users to choose a device that best suited their recording needs. Remote access to recordings and live TV via the TiVo app on smartphones and tablets was another significant feature.

Over time, TiVo continued to update the Roamio platform with software enhancements and new features. While TiVo has since introduced newer DVR and streaming solutions, the Roamio series remains a notable part of the company's product history, representing a period of integration between traditional DVR capabilities and the growing landscape of online streaming entertainment.
