TiVo Announces a New DVR The BOLT+ With PLEX Support

TiVo is doubling down on their DVR brand with a brand new more powerful DVR the Tivo BOLT+. The TiVo BOLT+ includes six tuners, 3TB of recording capacity, and a new black chassis. The Bolt is also a streamer plus DVR, and PLEX client all in one, while also eliminating the need for a traditional video matrix switcher. The TiVo BOLT+ unifies all the TV channels and streaming content into one simplified and searchable system.

“With the TiVo BOLT+, our goal is to deliver the best DVR ever sold to consumers and continue to deliver a product with features that provide great value for our resell partners. The 4K TiVo BOLT+ is the all-in-one video system people have been waiting for,” said Ira Bahr, general manager of TiVo retail products. “The ultimate multi-room video set up, TiVo BOLT+ eliminates some of the install hassle resellers run into including expensive matrix switchers, while providing the unified entertainment features that users have come to expect and are excited about.”

TiVo BOLT+ includes the following features from its predecessor, the TiVo BOLT:

• 4K: Connect TiVo BOLT+ to a 4K TV and stream content in ultra-high-definition resolution with spectacular, eye-popping color and detail.
• SkipMode: Skip commercial breaks of recorded shows with the press of a single button.
• QuickMode: Watch recordings 30 percent faster with pitch-corrected audio.
• OnePass™: Consolidate all episodes of favorite shows via cable, and internet video services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Instant Video,² creating a universal watch list across all providers.
• OneSearch™: Search across local channels and internet video services to find which shows are available and where they can be viewed.
• Remote Access: Watch live TV and recorded shows from a tablet or smartphone anywhere in the home, as well as download or stream shows to watch out of the home and on the go.³

The current version coming out this fall is cable only but as with most Tivo DVRs a over the air version is likely to come soon. The TiVo BOLT+ is priced at $499.99.⁴ The TiVo BOLT+ will be available on September 15, 2016, online on sites like Amazon and custom install dealers nationally.
