As widely expected, TiVo unveiled a new version of its DVR dubbed TiVo Edge Tuesday. The company also announced a new ad-supported streaming service called TiVo Plus that will be exclusive to users of the company’s devices.

The new TiVo Edge combines 4K Dolby Vision HDR video playback capabilities with Dolby Atmos sound, and can be used to both record live TV and access a range of streaming apps. The device is available both as a version for cable customers (6 tuners, 2TB hard drive) and cord cutters (4 tuners,  2TB hard drive).

Most of these details had leaked before the official announcement, making the service and device pricing may be the most interesting new piece of information: The TiVo Edge for cable customers costs $400, with a $14.99 monthly service fee, and options for a yearly ($149.99 ) and a lifetime plan ($549.99).

The TiVo Edge for cord cutters on the other hand costs $350, and just $6.99 per month. Yearly and lifetime options are available for $69.99 and $249.99, respectively. Previously, TiVo was charging cord cutters $14.99 per month as well. Clearly, the company is waking up to the fact that these consumers are price sensitive.
