Q: Is cable or satellite service required?
A: Tivo does not work with satellite providers and works with a HD antenna or a cable service.
Q: Does a tivo replace a cable digital box
A: Yes, it does. If your'e using it with cable you get a cablecard from your cable company, which depending on the company is either free, or a few dollars a month. The Tivo then replaces any cable box you may have been using (and is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than cable DVRs). Just make sure the cable company quits charging you for the cable box after you give it back!
Q: What is the difference between this model (TCD849500V2) and the TCD849500 version?
A: One comes with a year of free service and the other does not and its a $100 dollar diffence, but the ones that come with the year of free TiVo service won't last long because TiVo is no longer shipping them out.
Q: Will the BOLT work with an outside antenna
A: Tivo Bolt will work with an outside HD Antenna
Q: Do you get a chanel and program guide
A: Yes, but you also pay $14.99/month (or an annual or lifetime subscription) to get it.
A: I was on with Spectrum (Formerly Time Warner) Cable Card tech support for about 20 minutes with each box (I have 2) Once the Cable Card (and requires cable tuner box which the cable company should supply w/card) was inserted it went through some updates and installs and then tells you to call your cable provider cable service. For Spectrum, this tech support was separate from normal customer care. My two cents...
Q: Does this model have the remote finder?
A: Yes it does
Q: Do I need to purchase a hdmi cable separately?
A: Tivo Bolt comes with a HDMI cable in the box
