    Not as good as the xfinity system. But good enough and saves money.

    I am using the Tivo with an outside antenna and it a great product. Being able to record OTA Tv just as your would with cable is a real treat. The only thing missing is a Sling Tv app. I still have to use my old Roku for that. If I had known this was available, I would have dumped cable a long time ago. Very easy to setup and get started.

    The only negative is the lifetime subscription should be cheaper.

    I have been a happy Tivo user for almost 20 years, but the last couple of years I had the DVR provided by DirectTV -- never again. Using this DVR was like coming home -- all the features I missed and new features to make it even more complete. Once you start using the commercial skip feature, you'll wonder how you ever did without. Worth every cent.

    . TiVo has a program guide, to look ahead, I'm still able to record my favorite programs pause, everything I was able to do with satellite t v I don't miss it at all.. After the initial cost I'm saving 1200.00 a year. It's easy to use and understand. Be sure to get yourself a decent antenna to receive more channels. .

    I use only an aerial antenna and Internet for television and the tivo bolt works great for me. Easy setup and love the way it provides a channel guide for all the channels your antenna can pick up with start times and program info, just like cable or satellite does! To me it's amazing, I am very happy with the Bolt!

    Love my Tivo Bolt! The interface is so superior to my old cable box, and the onepass feature is so smart at finding not only shows on cable, but streaming services too and combines them all into one folder for each show. Interface is so much faster than my cable box as well. Very satisfied with my purchase.

    Best DVR out there

    Allows single point of access for all streaming and broadcast media. Operation is stable so far, and picture is 4KUHD direct to the TV. Hulu has hung the system a few times, but it is easy to recover. I'm using a cable card with TWC, setup went smoothly but takes some time.

    This box is great to replace your high cost HD, dvr cable box. Recommend to add an external hard drive in our to free up space from HD recordings. Also very easy to use. Bad need to pay for the ease of use, but in my case the cost of a year of tivo service was equal to 3 months of cable rental fees.

    I was tired of paying for the extra dvr and cable boxes in my home. Heard about tivo and decided to give it a try. Well if your are renting cable boxes STOP!!! and get Tivo. They are well worth the money and no more rental fee's and now i have a whole house dvr for half the price.

    I have had TIVOs for years. Recently tried the X1 system from Xfinity. Soon, came back to TIVO. Upgraded to the TIVO Bolt & will never look back! TIVO just keeps getting better! Integrated cable & streaming services in one listing. Has never been easier to watch whatever you want.

    We bought this Tivo because our previous one crashed (Tivo Premiere). Love the fact we can record 4 shows at once and love the fact we can bypass the commercials without having to fast forward. We have had it for a month now and so far so good.
