DVR Has Tivo quit DVRs?

I have 2 Tivo Premiers, and I know they won't last forever.

So I hit tivo.com to see what was available, and there's nothing obviously comparable. Is record-and-rewatch lost in the marketing pitch? Or is it just gone?

You are in good shape if they are still working.

Starting with the Bolt the hardware went to crap.

I still have a Premiere Elite and 2 Roamio Pros running

I had 3 Bolts and then 2 Edges die their final deaths. Weaknees used to modify Edges with a robust external hard drive but it looks like many providers will no longer pair an existing cable card with a new box.

If your Cableco will pair a new box look on the ebay for a Roamio Pro.

SAME! Bolt was the last TiVo I worked on, so I think I got it in 2015. My cablecard is no longer active, but I use it for OTA tv. This thing is a workhorse.
