You should be able to if Comcast offers cable cards. I'm not sure if it is a requirement that cable companies have to offer the cards, but it seems like many have the option, even though it may be buried. I know with Time Warner, the option seems to be right there when you hit order or upgrade equipment in their account once you log in. I've heard one will need sighted help because their may be numbers in the menu that they would need to activate the card to your Tivo. ----- Original Message ----- From: Wendy Alling To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2014 5:29 PM Subject: RE: TiVo app question
Hi, I'm currently using the TV remote app to control my DVR with Comcast and it works well, but not the way I would like. Can the Tivo app be used if you have Comcast as your cable provider?

I was thinking about getting one of these as opposed to the Time Warner DVR because of being able to better control it with an app. Can you get into the settings from the app, say to turn alternate audio on and off? The reason I couldn't just have someone turn it on and leave it is because of channel 11. During their programming that doesn't come from Fox, they play a continuous loop on the SAP describing the feature and to return to main audio to hear the programming. If you do have to do that from the remote, is it fairly easy to toggle that setting? I heard that some of the remotes are programmable, so maybe a macro could be made to make it a one-button toggle. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Fischler To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2014 12:19 PM Subject: Re: TiVo app question Hey man, Feel free to email me off list as I have had Tivo for over ten years. Of course back then I could see, but now that I am a total I love Tivo and know all the ins and outs. I do not have the Romeo as I have the previous box. Not sure if you need the Stream with the Romeo as I thought it was built in, but to answer your question. No you do not need the stream to start shows playing on your TV by the app. It's fantastic as I use the app for everything. You will need some sighted assistance the first time you set the box up, but after that it is very rare that I need sighted assistance ever with my Tivo. Of course, not being able to see you can't use all the features, but it is the best option on the market that I have found as the app is mostly accessible. I have posted here before with the app, I can view my entire tV guide by time or channel, search for any shows and set a season pass or record by episode, you can see upcoming episodes, edit your season pass list, start programs playing on your TV by the iPhone, it's pretty fantastic and I use it every day. With the Stream you can be on any Wifi network and connect to your Tivo to watch anything on it.

My understanding is that this device does not allow you to watch recorded shows on an iPhone with out paying $130 for a TeVo streaming box. With the TeVo app could I record a show, then have it play to the tV that the TeVo is connected to instead of the iOS device? -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
