    This new TiVo bolt with 4K ability looks amazing on our new Samsung 4K TV. And it's much faster to load and navigate the menus than our TiVo Romeo. Highly recommended.

    I had a Tivo Premium that I'd wanted to upgrade (not sure why... just did). This Bolt is, besides my Apple TVs, my absolute favorite device. Buy one, get the cable card, and dump your cable box.

    The core of my cut-the-cable project. Excellent menu system. Quick command response. Love that I can access both over-the-air and streaming services within the same system.

    We really enjoy our Tivo. Always plenty of space to record our favorite shows. I love the 'skip commercial' button on recorded shows. Very good purchase!!

    I have owned 3 TiVo's and they all have worked flawlessly. The quirky shape of the Bolt is interesting. No better way to watch and record tv than TiVo in my opinion.

    Love everything about the software only thing I don't like is it takes forever to setup. After the setup software updates and all you will forget it took so long to setup.

    I've owned all the previous generations of TiVo, and this is the first one where I would say the menu responses are as fast as you would like. Smaller size is also nice.

    TIVO

    Returned for full refund even though package opened and product had been installed. TIVO, NO fault of Best Buy, is selling a product that according to TIVO has a known fault and will not accept over the air stations. TIVO stated they have been and are working on it with no idea of when it will be repaired. Also hard to understand "customer support" in Pakistan or India or where ever they hide.

    We bought this because both Best Buy and DirecTV said it was compatible with our system. It wasn't. Had to return it but enjoyed it while we had it.

    Tired of Cox DVR kept losing my recordings. All they could say was I need to upgrade to Contour. After 6th DVR tried TiVo and never looked back.

    Have had a TIVO since 2003. Decided to upgrade from the Premiere model which is still working just fine. Love the "skip" feature on this TIVO.
