I have owned a number of Tivo's over the years and always been happy with them. The Bolt is garbage. Reboots many times a day. I bought one because I had to -- the service for my series 2 box was cancelled (so much for lifetime). The first Bolt seemed okay, but suddenly started not being able to play any recordings. Bolt 2, basically failed out of the box. Bolt 3, okay if you do not mind constant reboots. It might be because I have gotten "refurbished" boxes which might mean get it in, ship it out. Whatever, Tivo is starting to look really bad to me, so watch out! Joe
