Springfield Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 So we are getting ready to move in a couple of weeks and I've been looking into options to save on my utilities. We currently have, and will continue to have after the move, FiOS for TV and Internet. I'm no Verizon fan but their service is the best in our area. The main thing that gets me is the $15 per box, per month, charges for equipment. With 3 or more boxes, that's $45 plus per month just on equipment. So I started looking at options... Came across the TiVo Bolt, unified entertainment system. Basically, it's a cable box that also does streaming. It can be paired with TiVo Minis so that you can use your cable service in any room you choose. Further, it just requires one cablecard to work, which is a minivan charge I believe. Here's a link to their page: https://www.tivo.com/shop/bolt-detail Anyone have experience with this? I would love a "whole home" solution and this seems to be right up my alley. Plus, from what I understand, the TiVo interface is lightning fast and super usable (whereas the FiOS interface is old and clunky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Yes, we've had Tivo for years and love it. We currently use it with FIOS and a cable card and it works great. We have the generation before the Bolt, so I don't know about that. The cable card is like 4.99 a month, but renting a cable box costs too, and was pretty bad when we tried it years ago anyway.

Springfield Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 What I understand is that VOD and PPV doesn't work with TiVo. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I use a Tivo with my antenna, so I couldn't really say much about VOD and PPV on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
