Q: Do you have to pay a monthly fee.
A: It will work without paying the fee but you won’t have full functionality of all the features. I think you can pay $6.99 a month, $69 a year or a onetime fee of $249 that’s good for the life of the unit. For me it didn’t start working correctly until about 24 hours after the fee was processed.
A: I have a TiVo Bolt and it may be like some others. I can record programs without a subscription. But if I want the program guide then I have to pay for it.
Q: How many channels/programs can you record at the same time with this unit?
A: It has four tuners so you can record four shows or record three and watch live TV.
Q: Can you expand storage via an external hard drive through the USB port?
A: Yes, you can expand storage via an external hard drive through the USB port.
A: No it does not record streaming channels whether from other sources of the built in apps. It will show you in your recordings list what streaming episodes are available to watch from the apps built into the Tivo unit. However you will have to be signed into these apps and some episodes may cost you.
Q: Can I connect indoor antenna to record programs of the air. ?
A: Yes should be able to as long as you get a signal
A: Yes, one can record anything visible on the guide. The guide does display the “in-between “ channels.
A: Simple answer is no. The TiVo bolt OTA is for over the air programming only. You cannot record any cable, satellite or streaming programs with it. TiVo does make different models that work with cable and satellite however, the Bolt OTA will not. Go to the TiVo website and research the different models.
