* Broadband Internet connection required. Due to restrictions placed by copyright holders, certain premium programming cannot be transferred to computers or mobile devices. TiVo Desktop Plus software (sold separately) is required to transfer recordings to mobile devices.
** CableCARD™ Decoder. A CableCARD decoder is required for your TiVo Premiere DVR to receive any cable programming. The TiVo Premiere 4 and Premiere XL4 are designed for use only with digital cable systems. They do not receive analog programming, including over-the-air programming, and will not work with an over-the-air antenna. Most of the largest cable providers have "digital simulcast," which means they rebroadcast all of their analog channel programming on digital channels as well. This means that all programs available on analog channels are also available on digital channels when a CableCARD is inserted. Therefore, if your provider has "digital simulcast" you will not miss any of your cable channel programming with a TiVo Premiere 4 or Premiere XL4. Please contact your provider if you are unsure whether its service provides digital simulcast of all analog programming.
