So hopefully we’ll have more TiVo Bolt details, including the all-important pricing, real soon. In terms of timing, Best Buy’s shelf reset is October 11th and TiVo CEO Tom Rogers stated, “we plan to introduce a new product sometime in the third (fiscal) quarter” which ends 10/31. Tuner count remains uncertain. I have some reason to believe the OTA and Cable/OTA models will sport four tuners to keep costs and heat down, while a 6-tuner “big boy” box, featuring a traditional STB form, strikes me a reasonable theory for another box down the road. Although we don’t yet have evidence of a voice-capable remote control, signs indicate voice recognition could be coming to the TiVo platform … along with a modest interface refresh - but we also anticipate both of these will make their way to Roamio and possibly even Premiere. Beyond aesthetics, I assume that asymmetrical arch also helps with heat dissipation. But, now having seen it, I quite like and would have no problem displaying the all-white (OTA/Cable) or black & white (OTA) variant on my TV stand. Based on the render, I originally had my doubts. ![]() ![]() Given that web graphic, it’s safe to assume at least two models will feature a stunning new enclosure that will surely elicit strong opinions.
