You don't need a tivo account at all for these older series 3 models anyways. These units aren't really made for streaming show, but rather for recording TV. I have personally serviced this tivo recently.
When I received this Tivo it wasn't working right, the original 320GB hard drive had failed. I have removed it, and replaced it with a 3TB Western Digital Purple drive (model WD30PURX). I was able to put the correct system image on that drive so the Tivo can use it.
When I received this Tivo it was working fine, still had the original 500GB drive in it. I have removed it, and replaced it with a 2TB Seagate Video 3.5 hard drive (Model ST2000VM003). I was able to put the correct system image on that drive so the Tivo can use it.
It was sold around 2014–2015 and remains popular among cord-cutters because of its TiVo interface and recording features. Model TCD846510. Tuners 4 ATSC OTA tuners. Inputs Antenna coax only. HD Recording Capacity ~75 hours.
TIVO ROAMIO OTA for ANTENNA. (THIS ROAMIO IS ON MY TIVO ACCOUNT & IS READY TO TRANSFER TO YOUR TIVO ACCOUNT). TiVo Roamio OTA / Antenna 4 Tuner DVR. Roamio Remote. NOTE:This TiVo is for OTA / ANTENNA USE ONLY ( DOES NOT WORK WITH CABLE ).
I WILL ASSIST WITH THE EASY TRANSFER FROM MY TIVO ACCOUNT TO TIVO ACCOUNT. HOWEVER, A TIVO ACCOUNT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR USE IF YOU DON'T HAVE or WANT A FREE TIVO ACCOUNT. TIVO EDGE FOR OTA / ANTENNA.
THIS BOLT IS ON MY TIVO ACCOUNT & IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE TO YOUR TIVO ACCOUNT. NOTE: Want the Newer TiVo User Interface ( TiVo Experience 4 )?. It is simple to do. Many people prefer the Classic User Interface ( TE3 ), as it is faster and easier to use.
Tivo Bolt for OTA or Cable. I haven't used this in a couple years now as I had upgraded to the edge and kept this in case I went back to OTA. THis has been reset to factory defaults and will need the software updated to current as I have not done this since I disconnected it 2 years ago.

Fully working! I just don’t use it anymore in the room where I had it. I have restored to factory settings to clear out my settings. Original TiVo remote and power adapter included.
