Great tutorial! Tivo is only missing streaming service from Direct TV Now, RUclips TV, Hulu Live, add these and Tivo is the only device you will ever need. I hope the New UI coming this fall will have these services.
straight forward video, very good - helped me make my decision - and we got the bolt, after doing the Moca adapters. have a few questions - from the mini can you set up recording and delete recordings? --- and have you seen a way to watch Tivo recordings you made on PLEX - not just watch whats in your other PLEX folders somewhere else - thnaks
Is there anyway that you can assist me. I too am in tivo hell. I have a bolt, with a tuner, and supposedly it was supposed to work without a "bridge". but the Moca would only work occasionally for the tv part and not well at all for the internet part. So I bought the bridge thinking that this would solve my problem. Now that I have gone through 3 days of trying to set this thing up... I can get the Moca to set up as a bridge on my tivo bolt but when I go to connect the tivo mini via a coax cable, as soon as I hit the "TIVO service connection or the Moca thing" it kills the internet and I have to restart the modem and router. I added all of the ports under the port forwarding thing on my router.. but it still is not working. I don't know what to do. Please help.
This is what I was wondering. Zero Tivo experience but recently installed an antenna in the attic and was thinking about cutting the cord and was debating on the Bolt VOX or Roamio OTA. Figured with the Bolt and the Mini VOX i could hook the antenna up to a splitter then run the 1 coaxial out to the Mini and the other to the Bolt VOX and that'd be my MOCA network?
The Bolt VOX has a moca bridge built in, but the Roamio OTA does not. A Roamio as your primary device would require you to buy a TIVO (moca) bridge if you want to connect a mini to a Roamio by coaxial cable. If you still want the (less expensive) Roamio OTA with a mini, and you don't want the expense of the Tivo Bridge, you could connect the mini by etherenet (Cat5/6) cable to your home network. That's an OK solution under some conditions, if you don't need to rely on your home's existing coaxial cabling , for example. Another option to look at is the TABLO. While the TABLO doesn't have Tivo's commercial skip, It sends OTA programming to TV's in your home using WiFi (to a Roku stick or Apple TV or Firestick)
I was able to transfer a lifetime subscription from an old Tivo box to the new bolt, however monthly fees are around $15, yearly fees are around $150, and lifetime is about $550. You can typically find deals so you're not paying full cost.

YOU DO NOT NEED A MOCA ADAPTER because it is already built into the Tivo BOLT (The MoCA adapter is NOT built into the other TIVO models)

Can you install kodi in this box
how much per month for TiVo?
I was able to transfer a lifetime subscription from an old Tivo box to the new bolt, however monthly fees are around $15, yearly fees are around $150, and lifetime is about $550. You can typically find deals so you're not paying full cost.
$15 or one time payment for life. The fee is for the service + warranty on the boxes
You did not have to transfer shows from one TiVo to another. You could stream room to room
No moca adapter needed with bolt. Get your fax right
Yea these Tivos have MoCa built in. The redesigned mini definitely has it. I'm just wondering if I can use the ethernet port from a Wi-Fi extender.
Mr. Robot?
Why talk about 'previous' issues? No longer relevant! Thanks for the info, tho.
