Have a charging cable on hand that isn't tangled up with this BELT cable. An included leather strap keeps it bundled up in one place in your bag, and the 4 foot length gives you plenty of room for charging. This BELT cable has a durable braided exterior, ensuring years of reliable use.

Great Built-in Strap
on July 8, 2017
Posted by: SafetyDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had traveled out of state and somehow had forgotten a charging cable for my iPhone. I went to the nearest Best Buy and decided to spend a little extra for this cable, primarily due to the leather strap to keep the cable managed when not in use. Very convenient.

Great headphones
on March 31, 2017
Posted by: SafetyDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love these Bose headphones! This is my first set of Bose headphones. I was hoping they would eventually develop noise canceling wireless headphones. Since I fly quite a bit, these make the travel much more enjoyable. The battery life is great as well. Thanks Bose!

Okay for sale price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to replace my backpack with one that has a strap to put over my luggage handle. This one was one of the few available at my Best Buy store. The strap is a little too high for my taller luggage (shorter handle) but works well for my carry on luggage. I don't like that the side net pockets don't accommodate a larger water bottle, or that the zippered side pockets are not deep enough to put my compact umbrella in. Other than those complaints, it seems to be sturdy enough for years of service.

Decent Installation
on March 25, 2017
Posted by: SafetyDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was my second Zagg screen protector. The first one I tried to install by myself. However, the wrong side peeled off first,and I didn't realize it, and ended up ruining the screen protector. Given that I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old, I knew it was critical to have this, so I purchased a second one and had Best Buy Geek Squad install it. They did it pretty quickly, and it had the normal bubbles in it. I put the iPad in an otterbox defender case, and still have bubbles. Not sure what I'll do - take it back, or live with it.

Returned it

I'll start off with the positives. It is a light, good looking cover. However, I have a three year old and a one year old and was extremely concerned with how well it would protect my iPad Pro. I returned it and purchased the otterbox defender.

Jason Statham reprises his role as the hitman Arthur 'The Mechanic' Bishop alongside Jessica Alba and Tommy Lee Jones in this action thriller sequel. After retiring as a contract killer, Bishop attempts to put his murderous past behind him by starting a new life in Brazil with girlfriend Gina (Alba). However, when Gina is kidnapped by a formidable enemy, Bishop is ordered to carry out three seemingly impossible assassinations on very high profile targets if he wants to see her alive again. Facing a race against time, Bishop must do all he can to complete his objectives before it's too late.

Very good cable. Only reason for 4 stars is the price seems high.

Good Addition to the TiVo Bolt
on November 6, 2016
Posted by: SafetyDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
With our cord cutting strategy we wanted to be able to view our recordings in our bedroom from our TiVo Bolt in the living room. The TiVo Mini gives us that capability as well as capturing the same channels received by the living room tv without having to connect the antenna to the bedroom tv. The reason I only gave it 4 stars was because I think it is over-priced and the requirement to connect both TiVo units via Ethernet and not wirelessly. While we have a newer home that already has each room networked to a central hub, many older houses would require additional network installation to be able to connect the devices.

Our Tivo Roamio is connected via WiFi.We're thinking of getting a Tivo mini to watch dvr'd shows in another room.Will I need to now have both machines directly connected to the Ethernet,or can I plug the mini in and still access shows from the Roamio?

It's been a while since I set my system up, but I believe that they both need to be installed via Ethernet.

Can I record from the mini or will it only access recordings already on the DVR?

No, you cannot record from the Mini. It only gives you access to the recordings on a TiVo DVR.

Best of all, TiVo BOLT unifies all your TV channels and streaming content into one simplified and searchable system, so you can start binge-watching any available show in seconds.
 

Does this unit work with OTA ?

Yes! It works great for me (I'm in the Dallas metroplex). We got rid of satellite and are enjoying it. It took a little getting used to, but I love having DVR capabilities for our favorite broadcast shows. We already had an Amazon Fire TV and AppleTV so I really didn't need another device for Netflix and Amazon Prime, but it's there if you want/need it.

Does this item work like a vhs? I want to be able to program at a certain hour a program and record it! I have cable but don't want to pay for the service every month. I record programs once in a while! Does it have storage?

First, you don't set it like a VHS exactly. You search for the show or program you want to record, then set the recording options (one-time, record the series, etc.)

Second, TiVo is not free - you have to rent a cable card from your cable company and you pay a monthly, annual, or one-time fee to TiVo. The only free TiVo option is their Roamio OTA (antenna).

Third, yes it has storage. It holds one terabyte of recordings. Depending on your video quality (SD or HD), you should have hundreds of hours of recordings.

Does it retain recordings if you change companies, i.e. if I changed from DirecTv to Time Warner, will the shows I recorded while with DirecTv still be saved and viewable after I disconnect the DirecTv box and connect/activate the Time Warner box?

I am not aware that the TiVo Bolt is compatible with DirectTV.

Can I use it for 3 TV's?

No, it is connected to one tv. However, you can purchase two TiVo Mini's for your additional tv's and they connect to the TiVo Bolt. Just note that all of the TiVo devices must be connected via Ethernet as the Mini's don't have wireless capabilities. The other option is if you have an MoCA network.
