This is my 4th Tivo product since 2001 and I had to have Tivo downgrade the software to a prior version to utilize the more user-friendly features of my prior Tivo Romeo

menu less intuitive than previous versions (took 1 star for that). apps features are nice & larger capacity helps with multi tuners. all in all, happy with the purchase.

terrible system

do not waste your time nor money on this terrible system. It will give horrible reception. Changing of stations etc. also terrible. The remote needs to be remote and go away. The need for Tivo makes it worse. You need to pay for the service. Run do not walk away from this excuse for a great system.

Really like the ability to record OTA channels and get free movies through Amazon also - integrated into one receiver with more function than I will ever use.

TiVo Bolt VOX was a breeze to setup, but the VOX portion did not function out of the box. Had to wait several days for a firmware upgrade to get pushed to use the voice feature.
30% faster playback mode a GREAT addition

I have used Tivo for years, and this is by far my favorite receiver. True 4k, easy interface and works with Tivo Mini.

Had trouble with the software not displaying all of the setup menus initially and had to call Tivo Tech Service.
Seems to be operating fine now.

TiVo has always been a great DVR. The menu system on the older TiVo's was more intuitive and better organized. Don't quite like the new interface.

We bought this Tivo box to replace our old one that broke. Some features are better but some features were definitely better/faster on our old box. Also, we have an older model in our bedroom that we can't sync with this new one. We can no longer transfer programs from our upstairs Tivo box to the new one in the family room. What a bummer! Very disappointing. Shouldn't all Tivo boxes be in sync with each other! ?

TiVo works great! Only drawback you can’t get on demand channels, I connected 3 TiVo minis and now I have cable channels in every room.
