TiVo has changed its guide with the new Bolt GearBrain TiVo also tracks what you watch and record, not in a spooky "we know what you're watching" kind of way, but in a machine learning way so the system can make viewing recommendations when you're hankering for something new or different to watch.

TiVo will auto record a series episode even if it starts at 9:02pm instead of exactly at 9 pm, adjustments most cable boxes are too stupid to make, resulting in missed episodes. QuickMode: This speeds up recorded action 1.3x normal speed without losing the audio – the broadcasters sound just a bit higher-pitched – handy for zipping through recorded sports.SkipMode: Press the "Skip" button on the Bolt remote (or intone "skip" using the Vox voice control) to leap past commercials on most programs on around 20 broadcast and cable stations, once the program has been completely recorded.Aside from its multitude of tuners, there are four functions unique to TiVo that increase its value proposition over standard dumb cable boxes: (Note to TiVo: that really does need to be MUCH louder.)Īn argument can be made that TiVo is worth its price and fees for its extras. Plus, on the rear of the Bolt is a Remote Finder button, which, when pressed, produces a synthesized tune from the remote to help you find it.

You can program the remote to control TV power and volume (or the volume on an AV receiver or sound bar). TiVo's hour glass-shaped remote works over radio frequency rather than infrared, which means you don't have to point it directly at your TV. (We concede, this may be the point.) You can connect the Bolt to your home internet network via an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi, either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. The black Bolt is small – just 11.4 inches wide by 7.3 inches deep by 1.8 inches high – but it's unusually wave-shaped, which means you won't be able to stack another STB on top of it. Physically, whoever designed the TiVo was not thinking practically. Many cable customers will also need a separate cable tuner box, available from your cable provider - and you might pay extra for this device too. If you are a cable subscriber, you'll have to pay a couple bucks a month (how much depends on your cable provider) for a CableCard, which slots into the bottom of the Bolt, to give you access to your cable programming. TiVo Bolt includes a Remote Finder button that helps you locate the device TiVo You can pay for TiVo service monthly ($14.99), annually ($149.99), or "all-in" for lifetime service ($549.99). In addition to the Bolt box, you also have to pay for TiVo's service, which includes a two-week electronic program guide (EPG) and a plethora of TiVo smart extras, in addition to whatever you pay for cable. For instance, Bolt offers Alexa skills, but only to voice-control the TiVo - and there isn't any smart home integration as there is with the new Amazon Fire TV Cube.įortunately, TiVo Bolt's overall one-box-to-rule-them-all TV-watching convenience is not diminished by the occasional hiccups of its Vox voice command or the limitations of its Alexa implementations. Both features have their virtues, but both also need some work. The device adds two new functions that raise its content and control IQ: its own Vox voice search/control and Amazon Alexa integration. The Bolt, however, is the latest set top box from a company that actually invented the DVR in 1999. You eliminate the TV or AV receiver input that switches between different content boxes, and get universal (and objective) content searches - rather than paid content first, like Amazon does.

TiVo's reason for existing is the ability to integrate standard broadcast and cable fare - plus streaming content and a DVR - into one box with just a single HDMI connection.
Or, you can just combine access to all your TV content into a single box, the TiVo 4K-compatible Bolt Vox.
