You stated ALL apps require you to list a current provider. Which ones are you referring to as the only ones I know that require this are providers like HBO, Starz, etc. Apps like HULU, Amazon Prime, NetFliX etc do not require a provider? They do expect you to log in and provide proof that you have subscribed to their content. I cut the cable over 4 years ago and have not run into the issue you are describing, except for content that is exclusive to a cable subscription. By the way, HBO, STARZ, etc can be subscribed to via Amazon Prime if that is the content you desire. I pay for Netflix, Hulu, TiVo, and Amazon Prime and I am still way less than what the cable providers offer by a long shot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe you would leave your current provider blank or set it to antenna. This only applies if you want to use the Bolt for your Cable box. I do not recall having to set that value. However, if I remember correctly, it provides a dropdown list of known providers. If TIVO is listed then include that, otherwise I suspect you would leave it blank. I know I set mine for antenna as I am getting live video via a standard antenna. I use that for live broadcast and TIVO for the various app providers. If you are not adding an antenna, I see no real value of the Bolt as you cannot record streamed content. The only value would be the content apps that are included.
