    TiVo and DVRs in general are slowly dying

    So rather than waiting for the inevitable, I am killing off our TiVo by cutting the Cable TV cord -- we were spending well over $200 a month for Spectrum Internet plus one step above the minimum TV Chanel feed.

The TiVo iPad remote app went from being very good with occasional bugs to close to unusable. Gone is the one...
