If You Want To Spend $600 On A Cable Box, Apparently This Is The One To Spend It On

The Verge's Nilay Patel reviewed the Roamio, and he loves it. He calls it "the ultimate cable box."

Here's the "good stuff" he likes about it…

• "Integrates cable TV and internet services like nothing else"
• "Fast, simple interface"
• "TV streaming to iOS devices"
• "Support for casting YouTube and Netflix from phones and tablets"

He concludes: "Installing it can be a huge pain, and it’s outrageously expensive — on top of the box, TiVo service costs either $14.99 / month or a ridiculous $499 flat fee per unit — but if you’re spending loads of money on cable service with premium channels, it’s worth it. You will record more shows and movies and watch them in more places with a TiVo than with your cable company’s DVR, hands-down."
