Pros

New commercial skip function is a charmer. Commercial skip and 30 second skip are terrific. Fantastic commercial skip and very usable quick mode.

The bolt has four tuners (the cable only version has six) to watch or record television with while the premiere xl only had two. I wish the remote would turn an avr (receiver) on/off. I think my picture looks better than with my roamio, but can't expl... Read More

Slide remote came (via weakknees) with packaging and instructions that made no reference to bolt (just a glued-on label), so we... Read More

#1: one of my decisions to go with the bolt over the roamio was the fact that the bolt had built in streaming capabilities so t... Read More

Competitiveness

I added the bolt to supplement a roamio after lightning took out the roamio's hdmi output.

I think my picture looks better than with my roamio, but can't explain why.
