Hmmm, maybe I'm missing something and would like some input...unified interface for streaming app shows?
Hi all, been recently having some issues with my Tivo (Spectrum SoCal and the TA stopped working, tho the cablecard is fine; spent the past week trying to figure that out with escalations to cablecard and field support, and hopefully may have some resolution soon), but it got me to thinking...
I still use my Tivo to record mostly network shows and watch them faster with Quickmode on, which I love-that and skipping commercials of course. For streaming, ever since Covid, I've just gone to streaming off my TV, as that's most convenient-I had a Samsung TV and just used the apps on there. Had an Apple TV, but I was like, why bother with another device and dealing with changing inputs and stuff when I can just do it directly on my TV?
When my Samsung TV died a couple years ago I just switched to a Hisense 100" TV and the same holds true as far as I can tell-all the streaming apps are on the TV-including the Spectrum app now, so I can even just watch live TV there too!
Now the question:
I've been bemoaning the balkanization of TV due to streaming; before I could just have everything including premiums coming in my cable, record my shows, and have them all in one place on my Tivo to watch when I wanted. It was great!
So is there anything that can replicate that now with streaming? Could the Tivo Stream do that for me? I don't think the Mini helps with this right?
The main thing I just want is a central interface which has all my (including streaming) shows, that's updated when new episodes or seasons come out, as I lose track nowadays with so many different services and logins etc...
So does something like this exist? I mean, better yet would be if somehow it could download the shows for me as they air, and them let me watch them like they were on my Tivo, but I'm not holding my breath for that... :P
TIA for any info/help!
