“I understand the tivo mini only works if you have the tivo bolt, etc, but does it only allow you to watch what's on your DVR or can it also allow you to watch live TV?”

The Tivo Mini will also allow you to watch live TV as long as any of the tuners in the Bolt are available. I have one Bolt and two Minis. I am able to watch live TV on each of the Minis and still watch live TV from the Bolt and/or record shows up to the number of tuners my Bolt has (4). So yes, this is absolutely possible and a great feature of the Tivo units.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Mini VOX gives you the ability to be a complete extension of a DVR, as It gives the TV the complete ability to use the DVR. It repeats EVERYTHING the master is doing, if you have live TV on the DVR, so does your VOX.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The mini will mirror your tuner on the bolt and you can definitely watch live tv. The only thing to remember is there’s a limited number of tuners on the bolt or similar. So if the dvr is recording three shows and someone else in the house is watching tv on a mini the tuners are used up. Doesn’t happen often for me with two people in the house.
