TiVo Shipping Stream 4K Media Player at $49 Starter Price

TiVo announced availability of the Stream 4K media dongle it launched at CES that allows cord-cutters a path to live TV -- but not broadcast TV like traditional TiVo boxes -- via Sling TV. The $69 device is available at a limited-time price of $49 with no TiVo subscription fee, said the company. Sling TV offers a free seven-day trial on Stream 4K for its service that starts at $30 monthly. A TiVo differentiator is it brings together shows and movies from favorite platforms -- “live or streaming," it said. Users can easily switch between, say, CNN and Netflix. Stream 4K integrates with Amazon Prime Video and Google Play. Dolby Atmos and Vision are included on the Android device, which supports Google Assistant voice control on the supplied remote.
