Tivo STream 4k Issues

by 4kman4755

I recently posted a nice review on the Tivo Stream4k however after a couple of days weird stuff started happening so I would caution anyone thinking of buying one to wait until they get the kinks out with some updates.

That said I realize the issues I am having could be limited to my equipment or the combination of my SONY TV sets and the Tivo Stream.

I finally disconnected the units after they kept trying to turn my TV sets on and off as well as force my TV set to the HDMI port the Tivo is connected to when I first turn on my TV sets.

I went into setting on the Tivo as well as my TV sets and my AV receivers to make sure everything was set properly. They were.

I thought it could be a communications issues with my AV receivers (Denon and Marantz) but this latest issues of forcing me to the HDMI port the Tivo is connected to tells me it has to be something happening with my SONY TV sets and the Tivo Stream.

This is unfortunate because otherwise it seems like a nice piece of equipment but not functional for me at this time.

Proceed with caution. Might work well for others but if anyone tries the Tivo Stream with a SONY TV I would be interested to know if it acts up or not.

Yep very common issue.

I had a terrible time with the Tivo Stream 4K as well. Froze on me, lagged, went black, couldn't pull in my Google data. I returned it. It was awful.

I have similar with my Vizio Tv and Denon receiver. I have CEC enabled on both. When I turn on the TV with the stream 4k remote, cable box remote, or TV remote it will always go to stream 4k input no matter last input on tv or receiver. It only happens when the Tivo stream 4K is plugged in and CEC is enabled. I don’t really mind it because it allows me to use the Tivo stream remote to adjust volume on my receiver. Since it also changes the input on the tv the receive will change to the input as well. So for the minor inconvenience of having to change inputs when I first turn on, I don’t mind this glitch.
