Tivo bolt vox review.
I had a tivo box years ago and it was flawless.
It has the same roster of ports on the back panel and a cablecard compartment underneath.
However the vox is black whereas the original bolt was white.
The tivo bolt vox is an attempt to push back.
There s a lot to unpack with this fella so get cozy and prepare to learn.
This new model has the voice button and works great.
Works great with a tivo bolt model that arrived from tivo as a refurb unit with the previous generation remote control.
It takes a little time to connect but works great otherwise.
The price per month is a lot more affordable than the full fat.
We also got a vox for the bedroom and got rid of our last cable box.
I like the idea of the bolt with the ability to record ota and streaming.
The bolt s menus took a little getting used to as they are different but it wasn t bad.
The tivo bolt vox is more than just a sleek modern looking addition to your entertainment center.
Physically the vox is identical to the tivo bolt unified entertainment system i reviewed previously sound vision june 2016 including the stack defying hump.
We ve had a premiere xl for many years and decided it was time to upgrade.
I have had the bolt for four days and the remote and the box keep going to sleep so i am unable to use the system.
And that s just the tip of the iceberg.
The good the tivo bolt ota offers a plethora of services including streaming apps with 4k support in home streaming and voice search.
The remote and the box are not responding when i push the buttons.
If that already sounds like more than you re looking for don t run away just yet.
The flagship tivo is the tivo bolt vox which takes the winning bolt formula and adds indispensable voice control.
I m now using both remotes with the tivo bolt.
Like the existing tivo bolt the vox serves as either a dvr for cable subscribers or a way to record free over the air channels from an antenna.
Old school has no voice button.
