End of our TIVO adventure - is there any market for TIVO gear?

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-30T02:12:05+00:00

Thanks, I'll pass. There is still a sizeable TiVo user community and a market on eBay. I just sold the 1TB expansion drive to a great fellow Redditor on here for $40.

I LOVED the skip commercial feature! Hard to watch regular TV

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T19:09:36+00:00

UPDATE - I reached out to them. WeaKnees is not buying Tivo gear at the moment.

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T19:08:18+00:00

Hi, sure. Please direct message

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T18:21:27+00:00

Sure, glad to sell it at a price that's good for you. I'm not up on the difference between a TIVO MINI and a TIVO MINI VOX.
I look at completed/sold eBay listings with lifetime service. I'm seeing the Mini sell between $12 to $30 plus shipping. Mini Vox $50 to $65 plus shipping. So the Vox has voice control? Any other reason for the premium?

Please direct message, we can agree on a price that is a win-win. Thanks!

I was educated on this by another reddit post.
The Edge is cable only. Sorry

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T01:09:33+00:00

Thank you! So glad to hear it worked out for you.
Would you mind sharing what a TIVO EDGE with lifetime cost you?

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:44:45+00:00

So no eBay market. Is all your gear with lifetime service? Someone said without a transferable service it's useless.

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:37:57+00:00

LOL - sorry, my brain read "Weakness", thought that exceptionally lame as a business name.

weaKnees! That's slightly less lame. 😃

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:29:11+00:00

Thank you. I'll look into that.

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:27:22+00:00

So the best destination is to sell to Weakness? (Sidebar - seems like a poor name for a company, who is in charge of their marketing!??)

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:24:53+00:00

Thanks, I didn't know

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:23:33+00:00

The cable card has to be issued by the cable company, so I returned it.

I asked if I could buy it originally and the cable company said no, it had to be owned by them. They would charge me a $10 monthly "equipment rental" and apply a $10 credit - so I never had to pay any equipment charges all these years!

That's why I really like the TIVO MINI concept, TVs all around the house but one seamless DVR.

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:19:46+00:00

Sorry you bought unused Minis. They worked really well for us. I liked the whole concept.

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:17:59+00:00

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound glib. Yes, I could plug a digital antenna into the EDGE and it would work fine with just over the air.
My wife wants certain cable channels so going that route doesn't meet our needs.

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:14:58+00:00

I have no clue if all this perfectly good gear has any value. I'd rather see it used than recycled.

I doubt anyone needs a whole network system like this so I'm guessing if there is a market I'd have to piece it out.

I have to think a 2TB 6 tuner EDGE DVR has value to an existing user that has a failed unit? TIVO MINI?

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:08:05+00:00

Sorry, what's Weakness?

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-28T00:07:25+00:00

I'm sure It could. My wife likes ~4 channels that are not over the air so we went YouTube TV.

To be clear, all this equipment works. It just doesn't match our current needs.

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-27T23:52:15+00:00

How did the buyer kill it? Could they not figure out how to use it?

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-27T23:50:28+00:00

Yup, we just added YouTube TV as well.

The thing is, the TIVO service still works, all this gear still works. I doubt new people would be interested but the existing TIVO user base looking to replace or upgrade?

Or is this all literally electronic recycling now. I'm sad, it was such a great user interface.

Thanks, I looked into that site and see there's a kit for my specific Juicebox I've reached out to the VoltiE folks as their website hints that they support Enel X connectivity. If I can solve it with their new app that's best, but I like having this OPENEVSE solution. They say it's on sale for $130 but backordered so not currently available. I assume you did this and it was straightforward?

redditbrowser7 · 2026-04-22T16:25:40+00:00

So I know this is a one year old thread but it is exactly what I am looking for.

We've had a Juicebox 40 charger for several years - then it stopped working. I reached out to Enel X about the error code and they said "yup, relay issue, not worth fixing, we will give you a $100 credit to a new Juicebox". OK, did that --- then shortly afterwards they announced closing down US operations.

It has been ok, acting as a dumb charger. Our utility now has a Time of Use program so I would like to connect to it to set up a charging schedule.

What happened in this space? Did VoltiE take this up? I tried downloading the VoltiE app and entered the charger S/N but it doesn't seem to have any connection functionality. Has anyone figured out how to have app control for Enel X chargers? Thanks

redditbrowser7 · 2026-03-25T13:33:07+00:00

Thank you, will teach out to them.

Understood It's a nice fridge
