Best of all, there’s a mind-blowing amount of space for the shows your family loves.

Leap Commercial Breaks in a Single Bound

TiVo BOLT+ features an addicting, time-saving feature that gives you a smoother, interruption-free TV-watching experience. TiVo’s exclusive SkipMode feature lets you jump past entire commercial breaks at the press of a single button on many of your recorded shows.

You won’t know how you lived without it.

Amazing But...Streaming doesn't work outside of home network...

Amazing But...Streaming doesn't work outside of home network...
I should have written this post earlier. Have had the Bolt+ and Bolt Mini for almost a month now. What can I say? The interface is excellent. They both are very fast and intuitive to use. Changing channels smokes Direct TV or cable provider DVR boxes. The search function and ability to setup with Netflix, YouTube and HBO Go is fantastic. Use all of it. The 3 TB mulit recorders is great when you wish to record multiple shows at the same time and still watch TV...Now, with the streaming that they sold me on. It doesn't work outside of your home network. Period. I went back and forth with pretty much the entire 30 person technical crew in Colorado. Great group of people by the way. The issue appears to be some ability for national networks to detect you are 'outside' of your 'home' network and attempting to login into main box at home to stream live TV. Can stream a few local TV stations. Can access HBO movies to. But, can't watch the news or much else. Not real happy about that part.So, when they say hey. You can watch and stream live TV from a hotel across the world or even in you office on a iPad or iPhone. You can't You get a error message saying STREAMING NOT PERMITTED. I guess to pay $15.00 month to TIVO for a monthly subscription vs paying cable provider to rent DVR boxes is a wash.
