Description of Enhance Your TiVo Experience with 📺 the TiVo VOX Remote: Voice Search, Black (C00301)

Bring the power of voice control to the TiVo experience. Just press the blue VOICE button, say your command and let TiVo do the rest. Skip commercials with the push of a button or hit the VOICE button and tell your TiVo to “Skip it”. Use the Remote Finder button on TiVo Roamio Plus or Pro to have the remote play a jingle. Control power, input, volume and mute of your TV and/or audio receiver. IR/RF signal removes line-of-sight requirements, ideal for in-cabinet setups. Requires 2 AA batteries (not included). On-screen user interface must be upgraded to the New TiVo Experience for voice-control functionality. Upgrade details provided upon remote installation. Note: Please refer the user manual below for better use.

Tivo fixed the bugs - LOVE this remote

I've read some bad reviews but please know Tivo fixed all the issues and this remote is awesome. You may have to call Tivo to get this to work with older Minis, but they'll give you some commands to reset the remote and get it working (I wish I could remember them, but I didn't write everything down). Tivo has also made updates to the new user interface. I agree the new UI can be a little confusing and takes a little time to learn but they made some updates to make it more user friendly and now

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Annoying

Does not fit TiVo Box

Returned. It never connected to my TiVo Roamio box. According to the instructions, pressing the buttons on the remote control will automatically connect the remote control to the set-top box. Never done. Then I went into settings, which said hold down the TiVo icon button and the back button for five seconds. This didn't work either. So I wrapped it up and sent it back. waste of time.

  • Price

Superb Voice Remote Control

We have replaced the original Tivo Roamio remote control with this one. Start chewing on batteries for 1 week initially, presumably stuck button (although we couldn't find it). You don't have to upgrade to New Experience to use this remote, but if you accidentally hit the VOX button (blue), everything will pause for a minute or two while you're prompted to upgrade. After reading the bad reviews of the New Experience we hesitated but eventually gave in. Overall the new experience is fine and the

  • Sparkles

Warning: VOX does not support wireless connection

I recently read about the new Tivo experience and was excited to use this remote. I waited until I got the remote control and did everything according to the instructions. After pairing the remote, I pressed the blue microphone button to start the update as instructed and nothing happened. I ended up having to update through the menu system. When the new experience finally arrived, I tried several times to use the Voice feature, but nothing worked. I've researched online and kept coming across…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Bad experience

More than just another remote control with voice navigation.

Works great with my Roamio Plus. I was able to connect with no problems. Voice recognition is pretty good. The only thing I wasn't ready for was the new "Tivo Experience", aka Tivo Hydra, which comes with a remote control. I thought it just added voice navigation to your Tivo. Not at all. You get a completely new Tivo interface. This is great for people like me who like to learn new things but not for those who don't. So if you're a habitual person who hates change, beware. There are many…

  • Complete set

Mixed Review - TV & Video

I've been a loyal TiVo user almost since the beginning. I've gone through several different models and am currently using two. I've always liked TiVos and have recommended them to anyone willing to listen. I have to say I'm not disappointed with this particular remote but I am disappointed with the software required. The remote control works perfectly, but the software leaves a lot to be desired. The program was easy to install but difficult to use. It took four or five installs for voice…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Sad Equipment

New TiVo experience required - brand new user interface

Remote control works fine. However, you must have a new TiVo experience to use the new Voice Remote. Unfortunately, the new TiVo experience is far from brilliant. And you can't go back without losing all your records. Which would be almost impossible without a lot of drunken views. This is unlikely. The new interface isn't nearly as user-friendly as the original format, although TiVo claims otherwise. It seems more likely that TiVo is apparently trying to emulate the many interfaces of XFINITY…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Really don't like it, everything is fine

Trouble setting up but works great once it's

. You must first update Tivo's UI before you can even attempt to customize it. After upgrading from 30 minutes to an hour, you have to make an effort to get the key to work properly. I set up the remote exactly as instructed, but for some reason after each setup the menu freezes every time I press the button. I left it for about 5 minutes but after nothing changed I pulled the key and it worked again but then the system rebooted. I wrestled with this thing for about an hour, after which I…

Pros
  • . great for me
Cons
  • . Minor problems.

No pairing in RF mode for A92 Mini and Roamio

I was happy to get my remote and use the voice features, but it won't pair in RF mode with the dongle that came with it. Pairing occurs only in IR mode. I have a Tivo mini A92 series and Roamio. At least I can use it in IR mode. Also, the Hydra interface on my mini device keeps losing connection from the Moca to my main Tivo, Roamio, and I can't watch live TV. Every day when I turn on the Mini I have to restart it to reconnect. I hope they release a software fix for it soon. Update from 26.11…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • There are nuances

Nice upgrade to the old Tivo

I have a 2015 Tivo Roamio OTA. Was considering buying a newer OTA model but found this remote with an update (Tivo Experience). I like the addition of a skip button instead of just using the channel up. The voice recognition seems fairly responsive, although I haven't used it much yet. The removed response seems to be a bit delayed compared to the old UI. The upgrade was very easy, just plug in the dongle and follow the included instructions to pair the new remote and initialize the upgrade. It

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • The list goes on.
