           • If you have not yet done so you will be prompted for the above when you go through the linear channel(s)
     
    • Tivo
      • Effective April 14, 2026 and moving forward, when you tune to a Music Choice channel on a legacy TiVo box, it will tune to the linear SD channel, just as it does today on non-TiVo devices (app will not launch)
