Spectrum does not support Tivo any longer. I've had one for over ten years.

Jerry, here in my area, Spectrum is very good, not 100%, but very good. The DVR can be programmed to record a series or single show, series are recorded automatically when set up to do it, it asks you if you want to record
the series, it works very well.

Thanks. I might wind up going with their DVR.

What issue did you have with their cloud DVR? I have YouTube TV with cloud DVR and it works great.

I feel your pain about Spectrum. I used them when I worked at Boeing in Seattle. Since I needed TV and Internet, they were the only choice at the time. There were always problems with billing and connectivity. Since I have Spectrum now, I do get 500 mb downloads, but I need to upgrade my switch to at least a 1 Gb switch. Right now I have a 100Mb switch, and I was informed that is why my internet speeds are lower (~95Mb download). I only use cable for my computers, but use wi-fi for streaming tv only. Cell-phones and tablets excluded.

Jerry,
Spectrum recorders can be programmed to record "new" or "ALL" shows of your choice. i.e. Law & Order, you can choose to have New only shows, or all that are broadcast on that channel. Depending on the box, you can record many shows to keep until you want to watch them. The machine will show you on the TV screen what percent of FULL it is.

I don't watch ANY shows when they are scheduled. I only watch shows I recorded. I hate ads and want to skip them all together. Like an earlier commenter, we record golf and other events. We just don't look to see who won. This way, we skip the ads and see all of the show. On sporting events we extend the time by 1 hour because they seldom end on time. When we are done, we delete that show. Simple.

My husband and I don't always like the same shows. We each have our own DVR box and CD players. You don't want to know what our monthly bill is, but we don't argue over shows and sometimes record the same things.. Who cares?

Is Spectrum perfect? No! But it is the best service over all the dishes and satellite services. They answer the phone quickly, have people who can usually help and set up repairs when needed. You don't pay extra if they have to come out. We've been using them (through all the iterations and purchases) for 34 years.

Thanks. With Tivo, we can watch what was recorded on any TV in the house. I don't know if Spectrum's DVR will work that way.
