Customers are saying

Customers love the BOLT OTA 1TB DVR & Streaming Player's ease of use, reliable DVR and recording features, and excellent picture quality. Many appreciate the comprehensive channel guide and the ability to easily skip commercials. While some users mention limitations in app support and the necessity of a subscription, the positive feedback on core functionalities outweighs these concerns. The remote control also receives high praise for its intuitive design.

    Our Romeo crapped out after 6 years, so this replaced it. Has a few new options. Only real disappointing issue was losing our hard drive storage.

    This was the best purchase I have made and allowed me to cut the cable cord! This is saving me about $120.00 a month. Great and money saving more!!!

    We bought two of these. They work great except we cannot program the remotes to our TVs. I have spent hours on the phone with their people trying and we have not got either of our TVs programed.

    Not very easy to use if you're not a techy. And for the review it wants me to provide more. The first sentence wasn't enough.. So I guess I need to just keep typing until it goes through.

    Great DVR. TiVo added a commercial before playback begins. This causes the DVR to reset. TiVo has vet to fix the issue.
