TiVo BOLT OTA is an all-in-one home entertainment product that
seamlessly combines the features of TiVo’s most powerful DVR with
the most popular online streaming services. BOLT OTA works with
almost any HD antenna and television, enabling consumers to freely
watch or record local TV programming, national news, sports and
entertainment in HD using an antenna (sold separately), but without
the cost of renting equipment from a pay-TV provider. Consumers
enjoy this powerful experience using a single, integrated device
and with TiVo’s award-winning voice controlled remote.
“TiVo BOLT OTA is the perfect solution for a broad range of TV
enthusiasts, including those considering cutting their cable TV
subscription or those who might have cut the cord but are missing
some programs that are only available via live TV,” said Ted
Malone, vice president of consumer products and services, TiVo.
“We’ve seen growing demand for our over-the-air products, and BOLT
OTA is a major upgrade that will continue to keep TiVo at the
forefront of the market.”
TiVo’s research team estimates that cord cutter intenders,
people who are thinking about cutting the pay-TV cord for budgetary
reasons, are estimated to represent 25 percent of the general
pay-TV viewing population. BOLT OTA represents the ideal solution
for these customers who are looking to save money but are concerned
they may lose important programming or be stuck with complicated
app solutions that are hard for everyone in the household to
use.
Cord cutter regretters have already moved to using only internet
TV services, including streaming apps, but are now rethinking their
decision based on missing programming choices and inferior viewing
experiences. BOLT OTA helps these customers regain a premium TV
experience without needing to re-subscribe to a pay-TV service that
charges them for channels they don’t want, or requires them to rent
set-top boxes.
TiVo BOLT OTA allows consumers to record and watch free,
over-the-air HD TV on their schedule. TiVo’s DVR includes four (4)
tuners to avoid recording conflicts and stores up to 150 hours of
HD programming, so viewers will never miss a moment of their
favorite programs. They can use SkipMode® to skip entire commercial
breaks on recorded programs with a single button press, and use
voice commands to quickly find what they’re looking for with TiVo
VOX Remote®. They can seamlessly search and discover quality shows,
skip ads and gain access to the most relevant TV
recommendations.
TiVo BOLT OTA combines OTT and OTA, giving consumers seamless
access on one user interface to top streaming apps like Netflix,
Amazon Prime Video and Hulu, as well as commercial free HDTV
programming. TiVo will search across live TV, recordings and
popular streaming services to deliver personalized results. Plus,
they can stream and download shows to their mobile devices, watch
their favorite content on-the-go, or schedule recordings almost
anywhere with the free TiVo app or add a TiVo Mini for a
multi-room, whole-home TV solution.
Availability & Pricing
The TiVo BOLT OTA costs $249.99 and has a monthly service fee of
$6.99 or annual fee of $69.99. TiVo BOLT OTA will be available
beginning September 28, 2018.
