Add on to our Tivo receiver/DVR

If you are wanting to cut the cord and receive OTA broadcast, buy a TIVO Roamio (only the base model can receive OTA broadcast) :-( and wire it along with a Tivo mini to your router. They work as advertised but it is a sacrifice compared to cable. Just do your research and be willing to make the adjustment. We saved over $100/month by doing this. WARNING: Setting up the mini was a royal pain due to lack of PROPER instructions! Once we got the right instructions, it was a breeze.

What's great about it: Allows access to live TV and recorded content on our Tivo receiver/DVR
What's not so great: Requires ethernet cabling and setup was ridiculous due to poor instructions.

This is a great game for a relaxing bit of gaming. If you just want some down time and a little fun, this will do the trick. Graphics are nice and remind us of all the old "side scrollers". There are some newer graphics in the mini games, too.

We bought this controller so we could play multiplayer games. It's just like the one that came in the bundle but a different color so we'd know which one each person was using. These controllers are awesome!

I gave this a 5 because we have all had a great time playing against each other and laughing when we crash. As time goes on I'm sure we will get a better handle on the controls. Picking cars and tracks is lots of fun. The snow and dirt tracks provide a different feel to the controllers. It's pretty amazing what the programmers have done with this game.

This is a good game if you're really into basketball. If you want to take the time to learn all the controls it would probably be a lot better. We are casual gamers so are not so inclined to learn all the special moves, etc. The game itself is good compared to others in this genre so I gave it a 4 instead of a 3.

Used to be a Wii fan but after getting this console I am sold on Sony. Easy setup and great gameplay. I'm sure some games are not so good but we haven't run in to any we didn't like. We haven't used the Blu-Ray player, yet, but look forward to it in the future.

Cut the cord!

Verified Purchase:Yes
We wanted to cut the cord on cable since they doubled our price in 12 months. Decided to go OTA only. So far we are very happy. The Roamio was easy to set up and works great. Still getting used to the remote functions as they are a little different than the one from our cable provider. We don't like that there are pop up ads on a pay service but it is really not that big of a deal. They only pop up when you pause a show and you can push the down arrow to clear the screen. If you are wanting to cut the cord and save some money, this is an inexpensive choice. We still have to install a better antenna and then we will consider the Tivo mini for other TVs in the home.
