@Alexzander Boston i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I have the tivo Bolt for cable plus 4 mini extenders, my question is, Can i used tivo cable for OTA ? want to cut the cord from cable services , thank you for any respons
Thanks for the video👍 Records only from OTA no doubt. Also TiVo service subscription is required.😕 Options include a monthly service plan at $6.99/mo. with a 1-year commitment, an Annual service plan at $69.99/year, or an All-In service plan for $249.99.
Tip: TiVo will occasionally offer deals on refurbished models with lifetime service. I got a TiVo Roamio OTA a while back for $200 with lifetime service. Frankly I like TiVo, but these special deals are the only way I’d buy into the service. Just keep an eye out.
The TIVO monthly charge is for the TV guide that allows you to see what the upcoming shows are. Lifetime versions are available for an additional fee. I have 2 Tivo's and a Tivo mini, they all work great, no monthly fees for life. (I bought the lifetime versions). I cut the cord a few years ago, saving $150/month.
Unfortunately you didn't talk about what I feel are some of the biggest features on Tivo in this video. You didn't mention the one-touch voice search which looks for your search across all available apps that you've subscribe to plus live TV. You didn't show the one button commercial skip that is actually marked by humans so it's a hundred percent accurate. You didn't show the smart home Integrations with IFTTT and Alexa which let you control Tivo automatically like automatically skipped commercials or voice commands with Alexa. You also missed how Tivo when you select season pass brings in the episodes from all the streaming services that you subscribe to not just over-the-air all into one cohesive show menu in your my shows so you don't have to worry where the episodes you are watching come from. Tivo just takes you to it wherever it has to all without you doing anything. Tivo is so much more than a pretty guide.
Great info. Do you also have a video showing the setup/connection, and possibly how to connect more than one TV to the system (preferably using a wireless connection)?
Thanks... So you are paying for the tivo channel guide... and if you do not pay, the unit will not get broadcast TV at all?... nor record anything? Correct? Also... when the tivo fee is paid... it is extra for the Hulu, etc., correct? Thanks... Liked Subscribed Shared...
I like Tablo DVR better. First the Tablo does not connect to a TV so I have it located in the back of the house where the outdoor antenna is. I also have an Ethernet jack right there so it is on my network. The guide is pretty good too.
Hopefully you can give me a little advice. I have the TiVo Roamio OTA with lifetime subscription and I really like it. TiVo has sent me a special offer to trade mine in on a new Bolt OTA and with my trade-in I get $200 off the all-in price which would bring my total cost to $299 instead of $499. Other than the 4K streaming ability is there anything better about the Bolt OTA that would make it worth trading up? Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the interesting video. I am hoping you can answer a situational question for me. First I love and owned several older Tivo devices. Our community HOA has a new contract with Comcast who has implemented a new service set-up which has eliminated the cable card. The streaming service has only one stream at 720p which seems backwards to me. My question is do you know how or if I there is a TIVo solution to still get LIVE cable news ( I like CNBC and CNN ) AND record one while watching the other AND get HDTV? We can not cut the cord per se as it is part of our community, but we also don't have choice of cable company. Thank you!
Have some questions. Does this work with basic cable? Cable TV coming through the cable line, no cable box setup? Does it support Plex Live TV streaming? So, If I wanted to watch something on another TV, with my Shield TV? Similar to what you can do with a HD HomeRun device. Does it have a Pluto internet TV app? Is it compatible with NAS devices like Qnap for storage? Is the hard drive replaceable in the Tivo Bolt box. Is it compatible with SSD's?
What if your tired of DirecTv and or cable itself, and you only want TiVo for over the air television watching? If you out right buy a TiVo Bolt Vox is service free for life? If so where is least expensive place to buy it or should a person by from TiVo? I'm not interested in paying for other movie/tv show services anymore. Please explain????
I was interested in the Tivo "Roamio" OTA (which is only standard HD, no 4K) but does not require a Guide subscription. Unfortunately, it appears to have been discontinued and the Bolt OTA (which requires a $6.99 monthly guide subscription) is the only alternative.
- Is it possible to have the EPG guide in air to air free or just internet - The EPG guide to internet is it compatible in Quebec, Canada. - Can I pause and rewind a live TV program is it have a Time Shifting
I get a nice channel guide with Channel Master Stream+ (1tb dvr & 2 tuners) for $179. The only thing I'm missing is remote viewing, which is why I preordered the Fire TV Recast (4 tuner) that will let you watch and record over-the-air TV at home or on-the-go with out the monthly fees.... I don't understand buying hardware that incurs a monthly fee for use... reminds me of cable.

Can you stream the OTA channels outside your WiFi on the TiVo iPad app? I also saw them demoing the tvOS appletv app and the FireTV app on someone’s RUclips channel, I think they said 3rd quarter 2019 it’ll be available on the stores.
For TiVo bolt OTA. $6.99/mo with 1-year commitment. $69.99/year. $249.99 for All-in one time fee/lifetime service. Lifetime service (lifetime of the box not the owner) and is not transferrable to another box.
I just purchased this and I keep getting V52 & V53 no signal codes TIVO tells me I need an antennae booster because the unit has 4 tuners. The antennae in the past ran 4 TVs with no issue > I believre the issue is not my signal but with the TIVO unit any suggestions ?
nvida shield / netflix / hulu / amazon prime / you can get alot more than cable or over the air has and costs less money in the long run . millions of tv shows and movies . you can get alot of free stuff too vudu has free stuff / crackle has free stuff / you can cast almost any web site to nvida shield to watch any free content you find . tivo is a ripoff big time . nvida can replace all the game boxes and you get 100's of free games . well worth the money .
@@simp28806 Tivo does about 10x more than what he showed here. This is about the worst demo review of hardware I have ever seen. He hit on like 3 out of 15 of the top big features TiVo gives you with this setup. I talk about some of them above but writing about them is not the same as showing them off. I have 2 Shields and I will tell you now as far as a dvr option compared to Tivo it's the Shield is not even a 1 to the Tivo 100. These are two different beasts all together and is why I own both. Tivo does dvr delivery like no other and if it was actually reviewed and showed off all that he could really do and the power behind it you would see what I was talking about. People continue to not get it till they see it for themselves or actually see a real review. This wasn't much more than taking it out of the box and plugging it in.

Can you record a program after it's been on for a while and you watch a program while it's recording from the start can you program it to another program while you're watching a recorded program
I have bought two NEW Tivo Bolt OTA's this week at 2 different Best Buy stores and both locked up on me. This is part of the message I received on BOTH Tivo's. "Please report this problem. You have encountered and unexpected error, and the UI can not continue. Please report this issue as part of your participation in our beta program". It goes on with some technical stuff. I was trying to set both Tivos up for the first time. I've never owned a Tivo and never participated in any beta program. I could not set up and account because Tivo is asking for both the unit Serial # which is on the bottom of the Tivo and they want Tivo MAP (Media Access Key) # which you have to retrieve from the main menu. Can't access main menu if Tivo locks up on you which it did twice. I think maybe either Tivo or Best Buy, of both, are knowingly selling faulty Tivos.
Is there digital video recorder that will hook up via hdmi & be able to record any input, kinda like an old time vcr? I figure I'm hoping for too much with copy protections of video content...
@@pbax6182 I can see the airplane, but camping na, I have unlimited data on my phone, and where I go camping I get decent signal, same for inside most buildings.
First off, thanks for your reviews, I am a subscriber and watch MOST of your videos. Now, I will tell you about MY thoughts on this device. First, it is NOT for me, too expensive and TOO limited. But, that is not what I am going to discuss here. I am going to tell you about my younger brother (68 years old), that literally HATES technology. Anyway, he wants desperately to get away from his $200 plus cable bill, so he is considering cutting the cord and going with an Antenna. Unfortunately, he lives over a thousand miles away from me, so I can not assist in any way at all. He watches very little TV, mostly news channels, his wife on the other hand likes some of the **cable** channels, but he says she will adapt (he wears the pants), since the plan is to cut back on their discretionary spending. He has no idea what a DVR is, but says his wife does record some shows, so this device would work for him. The simpler, the better for him, all he want to do is pick up the remote, push a button and watch TV. He doesn't know anything about streaming, except Netflix on the TV and RUclips on his wife's computer. This DVR would be great for his purpose, EXCEPT for the continuing cost of the guide data. He would never go for that. And bumping the cost of the device way over the top, for life time guide data, is definitely out of the question for him. So, for him, and lots of others like him, it still does NOT hit the sweet mark for him. Not sure what other stand alone inexpensive devices he can use for a basic DVR with FREE guide data.
Unfortunately he didn't talk about what I feel are some of the biggest features on Tivo in this video. He didn't mention the one-touch voice search which looks for your search across all available apps that you've subscribe to plus live TV.

I have tried so many and then I got my Tivo about a year ago. Hands down 100% worth every penny and unless you have actually used it you won't understand.
Ronnie Baily I'm not sure how you or your brother can complain about the $250 lifetime service fee when your brother is currently paying $200 plus per month? What's the break even point for a Tivo plus the lifetime fee ($500). Lets say his current cable TV cost is $125 of that $200/mo. he pays now. In 4 months he breaks even, then saves $125 every month after that.
I've been in the process of cord cutting, as in deciding what I need and selecting a service. I'm still connected to cable but it gets less and less use. My point here is the TiVo name has not been brought to my attention once in all the videos I've watched or articles I've read online about cutting the cord. Not once! I believe that says it all right there. They're done.....old company that's been bypassed.
Lack of familiarity with Tivo doesn't mean Tivo is an inferior device. I've used Tivo for a dozen years or more and would never revert to another company's DVR. That said, the lack of familiarity can mean you have to stand next to the "professional technician" and tell him how to connect your system up using Tivo. I've been there on several occasions.
yep it's not wise to buy any of this junk till OTA 3.0 comes out, but if you must a $50 RCA 1080p OTA DVR converter box, and a spare HDD thrown into a USB 3.0 external drive sled is a better deal.
I'm not a fan of this interference. It looks like it's gonna slow down over time. I prefer the older style interface where it barely needed any animations, and had the good TiVo sounds.
Tivo? who in the fuck still using Tivo? just get a roku stick/Netflix... I didn't know they were still around. this shit needs to die... they need to turn that box into a stick
Any fee is stupid when you can get an RCA OTA DVR converter box for $50, and just attach your own USB 3.0 flash drive of 32GB or bigger, or your own USB 3.0 HDD/SSD. Far as the streaming box part no thanks I'm good with my ROKU devices that don't cost anything beyond the device cost unless you sub to something like Netflix, Hulu etc..
Unfortunately this review missed almost all the great features that Tivo offers that sets them apart. I left a comment above explaining just some of the many things he never talked about that make Tivo so much worth it over anything else you could possibly use. If you owned it then maybe you would get it. I do and nothing comes close to the power of what Tivo does and I own them all for the Shield to Roku to the FireTv. I would trade every one of them for my new Tivo in a heartbeat.
You can find the Tivo Bolt OTA on Amazon here (You also support Cord Cutters News by using this link.): amzn.to/2IP7Okb
Does this model have wifi or is an ethernet cable required for streaming?
Also does this model upconvert resolutions up to 1080i such as the Direct TV DVRs do?

Check out Tablo.
Ronnie Baily I'm not sure how you or your brother can complain about the $250 lifetime service fee when your brother is currently paying $200 plus per month? What's the break even point for a Tivo plus the lifetime fee ($500). Lets say his current cable TV cost is $125 of that $200/mo. he pays now. In 4 months he breaks even, then saves $125 every month after that.
Can tivo side load apps? Can tivo drv Netflix, RUclips or any app it comes with?
No
Is the tuner any better than Roamio ota
the big question is can the toamio get Hulu? if not its better by default
What do you mean by antenna? And how much is it all a month could i get all the channels i used to get with my cable?
can you record a channel and watch a different channel at same time while recording?
Yes, you can record 3 and still watch 1.
What is the best dvr that doesn't require any internet service .
Kenneth Pollard nevu , no internet , no subsrcipton
Can use this for my Verizon like record stuff from my Verizon box
Get a cable card version and it will replace your Verizon box.
@@uh-zo5ei oh nice
Can you receive local channels?
Its a dvr you need a antenna to hook to dvr for any local channels. You will need to scan for channels thru box.
what are the live channels it gets?
The same ones you get now with an antenna.
Can I install a vpn and pluto tv apps on it?
I've been in the process of cord cutting, as in deciding what I need and selecting a service. I'm still connected to cable but it gets less and less use.
My point here is the TiVo name has not been brought to my attention once in all the videos I've watched or articles I've read online about cutting the cord. Not once!
I believe that says it all right there. They're done.....old company that's been bypassed.
Hahaha You can't find a better cord cutting option than this. As far as technical prowess and everything it does it blows the competition away.
Lack of familiarity with Tivo doesn't mean Tivo is an inferior device. I've used Tivo for a dozen years or more and would never revert to another company's DVR. That said, the lack of familiarity can mean you have to stand next to the "professional technician" and tell him how to connect your system up using Tivo. I've been there on several occasions.
No buyzies until OTA 3.0 is on it
yep it's not wise to buy any of this junk till OTA 3.0 comes out, but if you must a $50 RCA 1080p OTA DVR converter box, and a spare HDD thrown into a USB 3.0 external drive sled is a better deal.
Do you need a cable provider for this
Nope, just an antenna.
why would they not support Sling? That kills it for us.
its the ONLY OTA box that does Hulu as well. unless i wrong
Can I install Watch ESPN and Fox Sports Go ?
Nice device
Do I need WiFi for this?
abc def with nevu you dont
Why doesn't anybody talk about the whole house DVR ability. I'm I the only person that has more than one TV?
I'm not a fan of this interference. It looks like it's gonna slow down over time. I prefer the older style interface where it barely needed any animations, and had the good TiVo sounds.
$250 to buy, plus monthly? I'm good.. I'll just stick with my android boxes that do the same thing
Business car
Tivo? who in the fuck still using Tivo? just get a roku stick/Netflix... I didn't know they were still around. this shit needs to die... they need to turn that box into a stick
$14.99 a month, no thanks. Tivo should have retired.
The monthly is $6.99
Any fee is stupid when you can get an RCA OTA DVR converter box for $50, and just attach your own USB 3.0 flash drive of 32GB or bigger, or your own USB 3.0 HDD/SSD. Far as the streaming box part no thanks I'm good with my ROKU devices that don't cost anything beyond the device cost unless you sub to something like Netflix, Hulu etc..
Unfortunately this review missed almost all the great features that Tivo offers that sets them apart. I left a comment above explaining just some of the many things he never talked about that make Tivo so much worth it over anything else you could possibly use. If you owned it then maybe you would get it. I do and nothing comes close to the power of what Tivo does and I own them all for the Shield to Roku to the FireTv. I would trade every one of them for my new Tivo in a heartbeat.
Yeah I'll stick with my Tablo for OTA shows.
Why did they make it that dumb bent/angled design?
