add DVR to package?

Closed

# Apparently we ordered xFinity tv without dvr.

What is the cheapest way we can get dvr? Most shows we watch seem to be available “on demand.” however, we really would like to watch Morning Joe on MSNBC but not at 4am. :)

We do have a tivo series 3 - would replacing the xfinity box with a cable card work? How much would that cost?

Or is there another option to consider? We don’t need to store much to watch later.

Kind regards!

Doesn’t your tivo record? Otherwise extra $10/month for a dvr

Hi, u/SageAI. Thanks for reaching out here for support! It totally makes sense about what you're trying to accomplish and why. Recording capability and on demand are super convenient. Comcast does support the TiVo Series 3 HD cable box. The box will access local and basic cable channels, ATSC digital antenna channels, and analog antenna channels. You will need a CableCARD to access scrambled digital channels. If you have an HD television and subscribe to HD service, you’ll be able to record in HD and view live or pre-recorded programs in HD. If you don’t have an HD television, your picture will be in standard definition. TiVo Series 3 HD devices use TiVo’s on-screen guide, which differs from the guide we provide. If you have a Series 3 or above HD DVR and do not already have CableCARDs installed in your TiVo DVR, you will need Comcast to provide you with two CableCARDs. The first CableCARD in a customer-owned device or TV is provided at no additional charge. I saw you also sent a Modmail message, I will reply there momentarily. Talk to you more there!
