This (or the Edge referenced by mrsean) is still the best deal in TV. I've had my TiVo lifetime subscription on the Bolt for many years now, and pay something like $6/mo for a cable card, with a...

Weakness.com pre-formatted 3.5" external hard drives would be one solution if people can open the case to feed the SATA cable. If not, they'll now install it for you if you mail your unit to them.

I also have this same deal and been working great. Any particular type/brand of HD or will any work? I've always been afraid to mess with it, but good to know that the Roamio will take care of it.

The 6 tuner Edge cable model for $399 new and direct from Tivo is a better deal than renewed Bolt. Although, Weakness has better warranty service.

Two questions:
1. Since the prices are the same for the OTA only model and the cable or OTA model, why would someone choose the OTA only model?
2. I have an OTA only Roamio model from around 2015....

Tivo Edge has ATSC 3.0. That seems to be the only major difference between the it and the Bolt. Until I see that there's 4k OTA programs being broadcast, I'll stay with the Bolt.

Yes, ReplayTV was the bomb for those of us old enough to know about it. The lawsuits over commercial skip did them in eventually plus competition from Tivo.

I'm still running my TiVo Roamio OTA from 2015! I got that for $300 with lifetime guide data.
That was a slick deal!

Also, when I click on record, I want to record it. NOT watch it on some app I don't have a subscription for. Manage app never deletes them off. Such a scam.

YES!! That's what they need.... OTA with 4K (ATSC 3.0) and 6 tuners (but 4 might be OK). They don't need apps though in my opinion... that would probably be a headache for them. People can just use...
