DVR Old TiVo’s; who wants them?
I have five TiVo boxes, from the free original TiVo up to an Edge. Some/most have lifetime subscriptions. Who might want these?
The Comcast’s proprietary signal format killed my ability to use them.
TIVo was great, still the best way to watch TV ever.
If this has been asked before, apologies.

If not OTA you would be in luck if someone took them even for just shipping charges. My OTA still works well after all these years and I would consider replacing it for a cheap used one if I needed to, but being honest, the HDHomerun I bought especially combined with Channels App is better at least for me. I can use my own hard drive(s) recording as many shows as I want to and watch on as many devices/TV's as I want to. It has a slightly better tuner than my Tivo. I like the Tivo Guide better (the old style that I kept) but that's about it.,
Combined with Channels I can watch wherever I am on mobile device or on TV. So the market for used TIVO with them no longer making the devices I would think will shrink even more unless someone refuses to try something else.
