Decent installation

The installers (2) arrived and carefully removed the old dryer and installed the new one. The installer was friendly, however his helper never said a word, even when I said hi and offered him a water. The install went fine.

Great TV Mount

This TV mount worked perfectly. It was more than we wanted to spend at first, but we're glad we did. It had every nut and bolt we needed to install the TV. No trip to the hardware store was needed for the "correct size" bolts this time. It's also very easy to adjust and locks in place with just the right amount of force to move it. Very pleased.

Poor Quality

We bought these gloves and one doesn't even work even though the battery tag was still in it when we bought it.. New batteries didn't help either. Don't waste your money.

I bought this for my daughter and she loves it. The picture is very nice thanks to the great up scaling. Motion blur is what's to be expected for this price point, so no complaints. The only thing I didn't care for was the "tablet" remote control. It was nice having all of the settings available from it, but it wasn't very user friendly and the supplied documentation didn't help much. It also isn't used much as we have a TiVo. I wish they would have included a basic remote as well, not just a small touch pad style. This is more of a preference though as my daughter enjoys the tablet. Overall this is a great TV and I recommended it.

I am very pleased with this TV. We use it in our sun room, and at first I wasn't too happy with it as the picture seemed too dim. I then found out that it was varying the brightness due to ambient lighting. I turned this feature off and set the brightness where I wanted and it now works perfectly. I gave this TV a 4 star rating due to some motion blur, but it's tolerable for a regular TV used for normal programming. Not the best for quick action though.

I received this cable at a discount as I had just purchased over $1500 of gear, but I would have gladly paid full price for it. It works great from my TiVo box to my receiver. Picture is perfect. I can't speak for longevity of this cable, but I am very happy with it.

Good TV for the price

I guess I am spoiled by my top of the line 75" Sony, as this TV doesn't quite live up to the performance. That being said however, I am very pleased with this TV. It is our main living room TV and the family loves it. The picture is very sharp, there is very little motion blur and the edge lighting is fairly uniform, yet on an all-black screen you can see that it's not evenly distributed, having several lighter spots. This is not noticeable during normal TV watching. This TV is perfect for that. I wouldn't recommend it for your home theater if you have high standards, but you'll be thoroughly pleased with it as a family TV.

Newest TiVo - with some issues
on May 18, 2016
Posted by: Bochco64
from St. Louis, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I currently have 6 TiVos in use and have been using them since their first Sony built model, so I'm well versed in their operation. I have several points to discuss:
First is the aesthetics. It's a very odd shape that I'm not a fan of, though I can see how others would love it. The curved shape as well as the small footprint doesn’t look right next to typical Home Theater components. It would be nice to have an optional case, but I know this isn’t feasible so I’ll live with it.
Second is the set up. This unit uses a hidden cable card that’s provided by the local cable company. In the past, I’ve had several issues when setting up a new card in a new TiVo. This time however, the card setup went fairly smoothly for the cable technician compared to the older models I have. I’ve had the cable company take two weeks to get some to work right. Once they did, they remained rock solid. I think that most of the issues are due to the cable company not fully understanding TiVo equipment. Getting TiVo support helped though during install. This new Bolt model however, was set up in just two trips by the cable company in two days total. This is a huge improvement, so I have to applaud TiVo for assisting them.
Third is the speed of operation. This unit appears to be a little faster than my Roamio Pro unit, however I keep expecting a major jump each time a new model comes out and it never happens. This model claims a 3x faster processor and 3x the memory than the previous model (Roamio), however I barely notice a difference compared to my Roamio Pro. I would be happy to pay a premium for a much faster processor in order to never have a lag issue as it gets older and receives new software updates. I’m not saying this unit has major issues with lag, it doesn’t. I’m just saying that the Bolt doesn’t feel 3x times faster than my Roamio, more like 5% faster. If it is 3 times faster, you’d think it would be very obvious for me to notice it.
Fourth is the interface. This is the best TiVo software to date. Those that are used to satellite and cable company boxes and have never used a TiVo would be pleasantly surprised at how well the interface software works. It’s a pleasure to use and very easy to learn. Too much so to describe here, but I could never go back to the others.
Lastly, here are the issues I have with this unit. Due to the small footprint, TiVo moved the power supply to the wall plug. It’s terribly large and created problems behind our cabinet, keeping it further from the wall than it should be, as well as making us use another power strip as it’s so long and takes up several outlets. Very poor choice on TiVo’s part. The next issue I have is the quantity of tuners. My Roamio Pro has six tuners. The Bolt is a newer model, yet they only offer 4 tuners. What the heck TiVo?? You went backwards on your newest model?? Big mistake. Had I not needed an additional TiVo box, I would not have upgraded to this one like I usually do. In fact the Bolt serves a guest bedroom, not my home theater for this very reason. Was the decision for only 4 tuners based on size again? This unit should have had a minimum of 6 tuners. Another issue I have is the hard drive size. The one I purchased has a 1TB drive in it. My older Roamio Pro has a 3TB drive. Again, another step backwards from TiVo. Makes no sense. The last issue I have is the Netflix interface. It has always been, and continues to be, painfully slow. So much so that I no longer use the TiVo for accessing it, I use my TV’s interface. Not sure what the issue is here, but it’s definitely a problem.
Don’t let my issues scare you away though. This TiVo unit is a good solid unit and still a major step up from other providers. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this.
