Do you need a subscription for this unit?Can you get a guide channel to work with it?

No, you do not need a subscription it uses the free guide provided over the air or through a cable service for the free channel (major networks). However, the free guide is very basic and does not contain complete information like the cable providers guides or TiVo.

no subscritions needed and the over the air guide works from each individual channel

No, it's used for recording HD TV channels Over The Air (OTA), not cable or satellite subscription services, so no subscription required. A guide channel is normally provided by a subscription service so I don't think it will work with it unless it's OTA. Went back and checked source function and there are other modes other than OTA so it probably will record video from subscription set top boxes as well.

No subscription is needed. This device is largely for people like myself who get their signal over the air. 21 channels and no monthly fee. We look up the TV schedule on line.

No, you don't need a subscription for this unit. Don't know about guide channel. However, this unit is terrible. Never could make it work. Gave up. Don't buy it.

No subscription required. Just register online for free to start tracking. It only tracks steps, so for even my elliptical, I have to enter the activity and time I spent doing it. I have mine synced with My Fitness Pal, and it works awesome for tracking activity and food intake. Love the fitbit, it makes me think more about being active.

Yes! You can tune in to all the channels you pay for in your subscription. It is awesome and I wish I had a second radio for other places in the home!

yes after you get a subscription you have to scan for a station that isnt currently assigned and program that in as your location.

Yes but you need a tuner,and a software channel guide like Sage, which works great.

Bigger question is why buy it - doesn't work and yes subscription required. Try Pocketfinder instead

There is a subscription in order to get the service. They have different packages, but the common one is $14.99 per month.

It's plug and go ... the GPS units that require a subscription are those that receive traffic updates (usually through a satellite radio provider like XM). The i5 is a basic navigation system, so it does not require any type of subsciption. The only type of subscription cost might be a yearly updated map, but you can decide when and how often you want to update.

You would need to purchase a home kit for the unit ( you would also need to be able to aim the antenna out a south facing window) programming starts at $14.49 a month

You must subscribe to the tivo service for the unit to work. An active subscription is required so that the unit can download the program schedule updates.

Yes you need to subscribe to DISH. But you can do the monthly pay as you go plan. It is easy to turn it on and off as you need, no contract. If you are a traveler you just need to call them when you get to a new place. We love it!

I do not pay for any subscription, however, you can link it to the Cloud storage for free trial period and then pay for that after the trial period. I do not use the Cloud.

Yes it would require a subscription for that. But it's inexpensive for so many features it offers. I love this product and all that it does for the money.

There is no subscription needed. all you do is plug it in attach an antenna or cable or even satellite scan for channels and record whatever you want.

I just wanna say, for the record, that you really should be able to do this. Frankly, I'm not sure I'm gonna hang onto this thing if it doesn't handle podcasts more gracefully. It's slick... but it seems crazy that it can't just automatically subscribe. Presumably, this'll change as more third party apps become available, but we'll see...
