    This is my first TiVo and I love it! The space capacity is great, even though I wanted the 3TB it doesn't really matter with the ability to download the videos. The APP is the greatest thing since sliced bread as I can easily schedule any recordings and even watch my TiVo while I'm on the road.

    While there are the latest and the greatest that allow more recordings, this standard box does exactly as promised. It's a great way to record the things you like, and still watch other shows. I enjoy the functions that are consumer friendly, while expanding the viewing experience.

    I just have to say my TiVo bold was worth the purchase. The service is easy to use the apps work great my only wish is that there are more apps to use on this great device. I will never go back to a regular cable box again!

    Replaces one of the leased cable boxes and allows us to switch cable companies while still utilizing a dvr capacity

    I have very good things to say about Tivo. They have the best product. I did have a problem with the service (which is what you pay for on an ongoing basis). Boston had a channel change and Tivo was very slow to update. About 2 weeks behind.

    in my opinion, nothing beats the tiro experience. streaming is getting better, but if you subscribe to the premium channels or whatever network that has your shows, recording in HD with one touch commercial skip is the way to go. I added a tivo mini for my workout room and it works great.

    I recently changed cable providers due to a move. The provider has an antiquated platform so I decided to get Tivo to upgrade the experience. Love it. Easy to use and has all my cable and streaming services together. Love it.

    Big improvement over older TVO models

    Great for recording more programs at once while watching another channel. The Skip Commercials is okay but doesn't always give good performance. This TVO gets pretty warm so it does need to be in a well ventilated space. Much smaller than older models and well worth the price.

    This has replaced a tivo that was 9 years old. The ability to be able to record has opened so many more viewing possibilities. We are no longer redirected with single channel recording and are able to record more of our favorite shows to mega watch all weekend . THANKS TIVO BOLT!!!!!!!

    Been a TiVo customer in the past and loved the way they revolutionized TV watching. But honestly lately cable companies DVRs have caught up. Xfinity X1 dvr is as user friendly and intuitive, plus there are endless on demand options and TiVo uses an app for xfinity but has no app for charter or Time warner. I currently use charter and wanted TiVo to make their prehistoric box and dvr less lame. But will return the TiVo because my family can't take advantage of the on demand programming that charter has. Also the setup with a cable card needing a tuning adapter (another box to hide with cables and blah blah uuugh!) was painful to install and get to work right. Bottom line love TiVo but just not enough features when compared to current cable boxes to be worth the expense.

    We love the convenience of this machine! The streaming feature seemed frivolous but has turned out to be one of my favorite parts. I do wish that there was more integration with free online streams like network tv.

    This has been a great DVR. I have used TiVo for 10 years and like their products. The addition of two TiVo minis are great. Only down side is the weird shape but you can hide it since it does not have to have a line on sight remote.

    I was renting 4 DVRs from my cable provider. I was locked into only watching the recorded content on a given DVR in that room. With Bolt I now have 1 DVR. Combined with the Tivo Mini's I can watch all of the content from that DVR in all of my rooms. Love It!

    I wish you could customize some screens to remove unused services and make the services you do use easier to access. Search feature doesn't identify if you actually own what you're searching for... just directs you to retail options inside Tivo.

    Have been a loyal TiVo owner since 2001 and this new TiVo certainly won't disappoint. Has many streaming options and the latest interface is super easy to navigate. Best part is you can connect TiVo mini units and not pay extra to the cable company!

    we cut the expensive cable at home, so we only use an antenna, we were not able to rewind, forward or record tv shows no more, so we decided for this option, we pay a monthly fee for this service but is nothing compare to what cable charges for.

    I've loved the product since I first bought it. This products by far one of the most user-friendly video recorders on the market. I'd like to see more applications built into the system but it doesn't excellent job at what it supposed to do.

    This was the 2nd Tivo Bolt I purchased through Best Buy. This one was bought as an Open Box / used item and there were no issues with the unit. All accessories were included and set up was as easy as the first new one.
