TiVo Stream 4K – Every Streaming App and Live TV on One Screen – 4K UHD, Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos Sound – Powered by Android TV – Plug-In Smart TV

Bought this item before. Easy set up, and good quality.

Can be a little complicated to set up first time. But works well once done

Very good product

Like speed of apps loading in my Tivo stick and storage space available, But only issue i have is atleast 2-3 times per day when watching movie it freezes and the reboots the stick anyone else have this issue, I read it could be down to power source as this was intended for use in USA

To try and register it; I did try to use the USA civic building in a city (museum) address and phone method but I could not do so. Since this device is not a free item and since it's sold in the UK this unavoidable needing to register with Tivo in the USA registration step should not be needed unless you actually want to use the Tivo features. Therefore, without being able to register it I was unable to use it at all as it locked up on the Tivo registration screen. As soon as it was switch on, I could register my google account, (which was the prior step to the Tivo Registration step), but I then could not access Google Play in order to download a few Google Apps, (including my VPN), so it was useless to us as it locked up when the Tivo Registration failed, probably due to my having a UK IP address and since I could not access Google Play I could not access a VPN. Also, this device can only update to Android 9, (which is now an older operating system), so it may not have a long shelf life even if I could get it to work in the UK. We sent it back and we bought another type instead, the other type was a similar price in the UK, the other one was much easier to set up in the UK, the other one uses Android 12, it is much snappier and it operates flawlessly. I would avoid this as it is slower than similar priced alternatives, it uses an older operating system and it locks up when you try to use it from a UK IP Address

Item worked perfect (and ended up buying more!!)

Love these,only downside is you have to find a USA address to register the product

Okay, so it does what it says on the tin, well sort of. One, the included mains adapter has a US plug and is 110v so useless in the UK. Two, the product can only be set up using an American address and phone number, so you will need to get creative. Three, some of the apps you would expect to be able to load such as ITVX, will install but wont run. They give an error message telling you that ITVX has not got an andriod licence. IPlayer is not available as the device thinks its in the USA regardless of what you tell it. Most of the included TIVO apps are pay services, and there is not much free content available. TIVO stream provides a guide that is not synced to the programs, so the links dont always work. I've managed to load Pluto but havnt yet found out how to install from web sites as android settings do not seem tp be available to disable the playstore only setting. The box itself, updates a lot at first with blank screens, but just leave it to settle. So, it provides some free content, access to most premium channels (if you have an account) and works quickly unlike thos nasty old andriod boxes. So its okay, a bit limited and there is probably better value out there, but it sort of works.

Many options out there for streaming devices, I believe this is one of the top value for the price you are paying. Its the second unit I buy, I use it for my kids TVs which one of them is not a smart TV so its an amazing upgrade to the TV. and other one is a cheap android system so it is a great upgrade to the TV. works perfect.

Très déçue 😞. J'étais impatiente de l'installer. Au début j'ai suivis les étapes et tout allait bien. Jusqu'au code d'activation qu'on doit rentrer sur le site de Tivo. Là il faut créer un compte, sauf qu'on ne peut pas choisir d'autre pays que les États-Unis. Impossible de rentrer une adresse française, donc d'enregistrer le produit, donc de l'utiliser.. J'aurais apprécié que ce soit mentionné dans le descriptif!

NOTE: Bought this at about $30 USD. You need to have a US Tivo Account in order to set up the Tivo Stream 4k so I advise you to create one first before getting this so that you won't waste any time. FYI, I'm not from the US. Was looking for a streaming device that would allow me to access my Media Server remotely and conveniently. I use Jellyfin for my server and Tailscale so that I can access this server outside my LAN. With the Tivo Stream 4k's Google Play Store, I could simply install these 2 applications and meet my objective. Now, I can just bring the Tivo anywhere I go, plug it in to any display monitor and have access to all my files. I recommend installing a launcher like Projectivy so that you can escape all the bloat from the default launcher. There's also a USB-C port on the side if you want to attach additional components like extra storage or an ethernet adapter. Overall, this device has been working very well for me for the past month.

After i updates i cannot control my sound bar from this remote even tried restoring and everything now i have to use three remotes to control my tv.. thinking to swap with something else now

Update 2/16/2021 Still going strong. No issues. Only had to reboot it once in over 4 months. I think some of the "buggyness" others have experienced may be due to a poor wifi connection. If this is going to be placed far from your WiFi router you may have issues with spinning circle a lot. Mine sits right next to my router. My only gripe still is that if I subscribe to YouTube TV it's not going to integrate into the native Tivo channel guide and the Tivo Channel guide does not allow you to create a favorite channels list. That's really the only two main drawbacks. But if I do switch from Sling to YouTube TV I'll put the Tivo on my bedroom TV and move my Chromecast with Google TV from the bedroom to my main TV. Original Review Tivo Stream 4K, Roku Stick Plus vs Chromecast with Google TV - For the $50 and under price range, these are the three best to choose from and I tried them all. Tivo Stream 4K was my winner. 1) It's Android TV O/S so can load all the Play Store apps and use Google Assistant voice commands. 2) All apps I tried, Hulu, HBOMax, Sling, Netflix, etc, had 5.1 audio (that should have it) including Atmos on Netflix. 3) Remote correctly powers on and off the receiver, TV, and device itself. The Info button on the remote was critical so I could see the current video and audio stream spec on Netflix in realtime and discovered I wasn't getting 4K. Needed to go into my Yamaha and do a firmware update and change the video settings in the Advanced Menu to get the receiver to support 4K 60hz instead of 30hz. Not sure what made the difference in getting Netflix to stream 4K, the firmware update or changing 4K video mode from 2 to 1. 4) Live Channel Menu integrates Locast.org (free local TV via Internet), Sling, Pluto and Tivo channels. No YouTube TV of course but not using that. I'm actually using Stremium now as my Live Channel guide and Live Channel DVR. It's brilliant. I have Locast for all the major networks and Sling ($30) for mainly CNN and ESPN. The Stremium app for $5/month (or less annual), also possible on the Chromecast, may not be the best featured cloud DVR but for the price and the fact it can be my channel guide and DVR for Sling and Locast combined is really great. See ya later Comcast and hello $80/month savings without losing a single channel I like to watch. I'm sure there are drawbacks I've yet to discover but so far the Tivo Stream 4K is a total sleeper compared to the more talked about Roku devices or CCWGTV. Maybe people think Tivo brand is old tech on its way out or something? Not my experience with this particular Tivo device. On the CCWGTV, I liked the interface the best (especially if you use YouTube TV, which I don't) but it has been relegated to occasional use on my bedroom TV due to the following: 1) No 5.1 on some apps like mainly Hulu without having to cast from mobile device which is ridiculous to have to do that. Also no 5.1 on any Live TV Streaming Services except if you sideload AT&T Now app. 2) No ability to integrate other live channel services into the Live Channel Guide (not surprising as they want to steer you to YouTube TV) 3) Very disappointing remote (but what can you expect for a $50 platform?) No "Info" button on remote. Wouldn't control power on my Yamaha RX-V781 even with CEC turned on for everything to name just a couple frustrations. Other minor gripes but those were the main 3 for me. If you don't mind paying $65+tax a month for your live TV via YouTube TV and you live in the Google Ecosystem, it's probably arguably the best choice for others as long as they are willing to wait for the kinks to be worked out in all the apps on the audio streaming formats. Roku Streaming Stick Plus very promising. Better remote than Chromecast with Google TV. Simpler menu/navigation system preferable to many users, BUT, HBOMax not in 5.1 digital surround audio currently, just 2-channel PCM. Deal breaker. It's also not an Android TV device so you can't install any Android TV app from the Play Store although it has all the main apps. Moving between Android TV devices is easier in the future so you can use your Google account across a larger variety of current and future devices and not have to start from scratch when you change devices. With Roku, you are now tied to their properietary O/S that they have done a good job designing to make it easy for an average user. Honorable mention: Amazon Fire Stick. If you live in the Amazon/Alexa Ecosystem of home devices this may be your preferred device. You can 'sideload' Android TV apps.
