Now there’s a TiVo for everyone. Introducing the 6-tuner TiVo BOLT+ to the TiVo BOLT family.
TiVo brings you the new TiVo BOLT+, with six tuners and 450 hours of HD recording space. Record six shows at once, add TiVo® Minis to enjoy shows in other rooms, and watch TV on your TiVo mobile app for iOS and Android™. With the TiVo BOLT+ you still get the same great BOLT experience, but with more room to play with.
The TiVo BOLT family is bringing it all together, with unified television.
The TiVo BOLT is the shortest distance between you and your entertainment, because it combines all your options into a single box. No more switching devices, toggling inputs or juggling remotes. Whether it's from TV, available on-demand libraries or streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, HULU, YouTube or Pandora, TiVo BOLT delivers it all in an instant.
Find movies and shows with unified search.
OneSearch™ scours multiple platforms like TV and Netflix simultaneously, so your search experience is always fast, simple and seamless. No more drilling down into each app and doing multiple hunt-and-seek searches. Find shows and movies by title, actor, director or keyword—and start watching in seconds.
Organize every season and episode into a unified watchlist.
OnePass™ tracks down every available season and episode of a show—whether it's on television or a streaming app—and creates a customizable watchlist for you. Start with the pilot episode or jump in anywhere mid-season. OnePass automatically records upcoming episodes and adds them to your list.
33% smaller than the Roamio® Pro. The new TiVo BOLT is also 3 times faster.
The TiVo BOLT family is 33% smaller than the TiVo Roamio Pro, but it packs a mightier punch. With 3 times the speed and up to 3 times the memory, it satisfies your entertainment appetite— and your need for speed. All that power is packed into a slender, elegant package that runs your entire entertainment center. Oh, and that distinctive, arched design isn’t just for looks, it serves as a clever cooling system.

RF Remote and
Remote Finder
The powerful RF signal from your remote lets you control your TiVo BOLT, even if it's tucked away behind a cabinet door. Even better, if you misplace your remote, the TiVo BOLT helps you find it. Just press the handy "Remote Finder" button, and your remote alerts you to its location.
