TiVo Stream 4K is now available at TiVo.com with an introductory price of $49.99 and a free 7-day trial of Sling TV. Consumers can access content from Sling TV alongside streaming video services like Netflix and Prime Video using TiVo’s own content catalogue.

TiVo Stream 4K is said to provide ‘seamless’ integration with numerous streaming video services, including Netflix, Prime Video and Google Play. This is said to eliminate the need to toggle between multiple apps to access TV shows.
