Overview

  • TiVo stopped selling physical DVR products on October 1, 2025, after ending Edge sales on September 30 and depleting remaining inventory.
  • Listings for DVR hardware were removed from the company website, a change Xperi confirmed occurred on October 1.
  • The company says it will continue customer support for existing boxes, reassuring owners with lifetime service plans.
  • TiVo is focusing on software licensing, with TiVo OS on Sharp TVs in the U.S. and partner brands in Europe plus DTS AutoStage for vehicles.
  • Shifts in viewing and regulation—streaming, cable providers’ cloud DVRs, and the phase‑out of CableCARD—undercut demand for standalone TiVo hardware.
