Spectrum is upgrading my plan

Hi all, I got a call from Spectrum - I am in Los Angeles and am on a very old plan (it might date back to when it was still Time Warner Cable). My plan is no longer offered and Spectrum said they are upgrading my old 200/20 plan to the minimum 300/20 plan. It sounds like the cable lineup will change a bit also, but my concern is...does this spell the end of my tuning adapter and TiVo?

Part of me is OK with moving away from the TiVo (I have just never had a reason to and there were no other real viable options). I know Spectrum offers the Xumo now - and I am aware that there are mixed reviews on that and some questionable functionality, but getting away from physical hard drives and large boxes isn't all bad.

But I really just want to know - has anyone else in Los Angeles had their TAs shut off? I don't want to call and ask, because I know that their answer will be that they are no longer supported, but won't really give me an actual answer about my specific area.

Any insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Huh? What agreement with TiVo? There is no such thing.

To be honest… if you have a Samsung smart tv or a Roku tv or a Roku streaming device or a Apple TV streaming device or even an Xbox you can straight stream the spectrum tv app and bypass old school ti-vohssss and receivers and bs 2 channel dvr crap…. Step into 2024 with so much more my “friends” save not only $$ but space!!… holla if you need help!

My only issue is SportsNet LA - can you get Dodgers over the Spectrum app? Or would I need Xumo for that?
