Its premium price, large size, and experimental 4K 120 Hz mode may deter cost-sensitive or space-constrained users. Best for audiophiles and home-theater enthusiasts needing top-tier video/audio performance and massive local storage.
The TiVo EDGE for Cable is a premium 6-tuner DVR and streaming hub delivering 4K HDR with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
