TiVo Ends Consumer DVR Sales as Xperi Confirms Hardware Exit

The brand pivots to software-focused licensing after years of waning demand for standalone recorders.

Overview

  • As of Oct. 1, 2025, TiVo stopped selling physical DVRs and accessories, according to an Xperi statement to PCMag.
  • Xperi says TiVo no longer manufactures hardware, remaining inventory is depleted, and support for existing devices will continue.
  • The quiet withdrawal was first flagged by Cord Cutter News after TiVo removed DVR references from its website.
  • TiVo’s last DVR was the 2019 TiVo Edge, and a later TiVo Stream 4K push failed to gain traction against entrenched streaming rivals.
  • The company now focuses on TiVo OS for smart TVs and DTS AutoStage for cars, as loyal users voice concerns about aging boxes and lifetime plans in recent coverage.
