I could but if you have seen any of their interfaces(plex) ie roku, firetv, Xbox one it's exactly the same.

Ahh, I haven't, but could look those up. I use PHT (RasPlex) and IOS.

I am also looking to make a move to Tivo Bolt with OTA. This box has all my needs.

OTA - Live TV for sports and news
Netflix - Covers On-Demand needs
HULU - Covers all sitcom On-Demand needs
Vudu - No more ripping DVD's or the need for apps like Plex. Great Product
Plex - Good for items that are not available on Vudu.

All packaged up in a single box. I am looking forward to making the move and getting rid of DirecTv's $140/mo bill.

I agree with this comment Vudu is a great supplement to OTA. my worry with a whole collection is the new data limits cable companies are starting to impose...

I will say I have been using it almost a week now and haven't looked back. The mini's are almost as responsive as the bolt itself (which says allots) and that is using the Tivo's built in Moca. It streams from plex just fine (albeit transcoded for the mini).

Most importantly my wife loves it. happy wife happy life

Have you guys seen the recent OTA discussion at the tivocommunity? Someone over there is making a big stink about the new digital broadcast standard (ATSC 3.0 with H265) and how it will be here within 2 years and make the current Tivos with the ATSC 1.0 tuners obsolete.

I think he is incorrect. The standard will not be finalized for another year or two. Then there will be a period of time that all broadcasters will need to upgrade equipment and then implement. I would say this is going to take 3-4 years to complete. Also with the new ATSC 3.0 Standard it will allow broadcasters to broadcast the service over the Internet. It looks like to me that Tivo is positioning themselves for this transition by adding additional streaming services.

"since the ATSC 3.0 digital broadcast standard is based on Internet Protocol, it will let broadcasters transmit content developed for and sent over the Internet. This will allow them to create new hybrid services and augment regular TV broadcasts with greater interactivity."

I say longer than 3-4 years before they all go. Look how long it took them just to transition to HDTV and how many times that got pushed back.

With this type of setup, what is your ongoing monthly subscription fees? I ask because I currently use only Sage with OTA, so am happy with zero monthly fees related to TV. That said, I'm intrigued by the Tivo Bolt. Is there a monthly fee to use it?

The bolt comes with one year "free". After that it is $150 a year or $14.95 a month subscription fee.

The other problem with Vudu is it is not 100% supported on other devices. I was ready to subscribe to that but I prefer Amazon FireTV and FireTV Stick over Roku. However, there is no Vudu app for Amazon FireTV Stick. Once there is, I will pay to move my movies over to that platform. But until then, I am on a holding pattern.

Tivo just extended the 'skip mode' (Tivo's version of Comskip) to the Roamio line.

https://www.tivo.com/softwareupdates...Email#skipmode

It's not as powerful as Comskip, but a step in the right direction.

I disagree on the it's not as powerful. While it doesn't appear on all shows it does the majority we watch and has been spot on whereas I never could get comskip as perfect as this. But this is a person watching marking them which of course is going to be more accurate. It also appears within about 10-15 minutes after showing which is pretty fast.

I agree, Tivo's version is more precise than comskip. I guess I just miss the ability to run comskip on all recordings, regardless of channels.

Ya I can see that I guess it depends on what you record. Most of ours is prime time stuff so the skip is there. Allot of the kids isn't but they don't care as much lol. Like you said it's a good start and better than dish commskip offering which is pretty much just locals and long delays to skip. Baby steps... I personally never thought there would be a commercially available product with it.

I have FireTV as well but decided to move towards Roku and Now Tivo. Both boxes support Vudo and Amazon Prime.

FireTV was great for Kodi but I can settle with Plex. However, I find myself not needing Plex or Kodi since Vudu does such a great job.

I just made the plunge to move to Tivo today. You ask about my service fees, well here it is.

OTA - Free
Amazon Prime - Already a member for the free two day shipping.
Netflix - Have been a Sub for years.
HULU - Don't currently subscribe but I could for $11.99/mo
Vudu - I purchase/rent movies as I want

I get rid of DirecTV which costs $125/mo but I have to subscribe to Tivo for $15/mo. This change will save me about $1,350/yr. However, the first year I do not have to pay for the Tivo sub since it is included in purchase of the Bolt.

I think this is a great deal!

So far I like what I am seeing with this new Bolt. It performs very nice.
