TiVo Tips, Tricks, & In-Depth Video Walkthrough

I love TV. I always look forward to hanging out on the couch at the end of the day watching our favorite shows with Dave. We love to discover new shows, new to us shows, and to watch old shows that we may have missed the first time around.

TiVo Collections TV

A TiVo Roamio Plus and service provided.

That’s why I’m excited about the TiVo Roamio.

There are so many great features of TiVo that I previously wrote a post and made an overview video. You can check them out here: An Overview of TiVo Roamio Plus & Its Features.

After I recorded that video and published this post I realized that there are even more features of TiVo that I didn’t include. In fact, I put a question out on Twitter to see if anyone had anything specific they were wondering about and I received some great feedback. One question in particular asked the difference between TiVo and the cable company’s DVR. I decided to make another video to show even more features of TiVo as well as a few tips and tricks that make it stand out from the typical cable company DVR.

Isn’t that amazing? There are so many wonderful features of TiVo. It’s a fantastic way to watch live TV, record shows, and discover new sitcoms, dramas, movies, and more. The remote and all of the options are simple to use and very intuitive and we love that we don’ have to refer back to the instructions manual to figure it out. I also like the green thumbs up and red thumbs down buttons. They are a fun way to rate shows and to find suggestions and recommendations based on your preferences.

We’ve enjoyed using the TiVo Roamio Plus and I recommend it to anyone looking for a way to improve their TV experience. With the holidays around the corner it would be a great additions to your wish list or a thoughtful gift for the television fan in your life.

    I have often thought about TiVo. It sounds like it has tons of great features.

    On most devices like this there will be very few people who fully utilize the device as well as they could.

    I would love to have TiVo. Not sure if it is available here. I will have to ask.

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog originally got its name because my husband, Dave, and I had two kids born a year apart. Back then, we always joked that “the kids were too wired and we were too tired.”

Fast forward to today—those two kids are navigating college life (how did that happen so fast?!), and our house is a little quieter. But the story didn't stop there. Now that I'm a 50+ mom and an empty nester-in-training, the definition of 2 Wired 2 Tired has evolved.

Today I'm wired for new adventures, Disney magic, smart technology, and unforgettable travel experiences and I’m completely tired of bad gadgets, boring trips!


Whether you're a midlife mom looking for the ultimate 50+ Disney World guide, planning a relaxing Michigan Lake Life getaway, organizing a college dorm packing list, or just looking for a killer recipe to enjoy with a great book, you're in the right place.

The chaotic toddler years might be behind us, but the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here. Let's tackle this next exciting chapter together!
