Only the TiVo Service from Atlantic Broadband offers the complete combination of features and capabilities to include:

  • “No Compromises” Viewing – TiVo's new T6 platform can record up to six shows at once, store up to 1,000 shows and can deliver full DVR service (such as pause and rewind) on every TV in the home.
  • Instant Recommendations – The new “What to Watch Now” menu provides shortcuts to popular TV shows, movies, and live sporting events currently playing. TiVo even proactively records suggested programs so there's always something interesting ready to be watched.
  • Unlimited Mobility – Live TV can be easily streamed to tablets and smart phones anywhere at home; customers can also download their favorite shows and view them wherever they want.
  • Powerful Search – Create a WishList® search and TiVo will constantly scour millions of choices and automatically record when it matches the actor, subject or favorite team users are looking for.

  • Hassle-Free Setup – With one call and no equipment to buy, Atlantic Broadband's responsive local technicians will come to a customer's home, install the service and answer any questions so users can spend more time enjoying great TV.
  • Bundled Savings – The new TiVo service is built into every one of Atlantic Broadband's feature-rich bundles combining great TV, Internet and Phone services at big savings over retail rates.
