![]() TiVo Bolt includes a Remote Finder button that helps you locate the device TiVo You can pay for TiVo service monthly ($14.99), annually ($149.99), or "all-in" for lifetime service ($549.99). ![]() In addition to the Bolt box, you also have to pay for TiVo's service, which includes a two-week electronic program guide (EPG) and a plethora of TiVo smart extras, in addition to whatever you pay for cable. For instance, Bolt offers Alexa skills, but only to voice-control the TiVo - and there isn't any smart home integration as there is with the new Amazon Fire TV Cube.įortunately, TiVo Bolt's overall one-box-to-rule-them-all TV-watching convenience is not diminished by the occasional hiccups of its Vox voice command or the limitations of its Alexa implementations. Both features have their virtues, but both also need some work. The device adds two new functions that raise its content and control IQ: its own Vox voice search/control and Amazon Alexa integration. The Bolt, however, is the latest set top box from a company that actually invented the DVR in 1999. You eliminate the TV or AV receiver input that switches between different content boxes, and get universal (and objective) content searches - rather than paid content first, like Amazon does. TiVo's reason for existing is the ability to integrate standard broadcast and cable fare - plus streaming content and a DVR - into one box with just a single HDMI connection. Or, you can just combine access to all your TV content into a single box, the TiVo 4K-compatible Bolt Vox.
