Despite the plethora of services and devices dedicated to satisfying your binge-watching need, veteran company TiVo hasn't been completely pushed out yet. The company has made an effort to modernize over the past few years, elevating its DVR boxes with features like voice commands and access to third-party streaming apps.
Now, TiVo is going after a specific group of cord-cutters—those who haven't made the commitment yet but want to put their toes in the cable-free water. The company's new $249 TiVo Bolt OTA box axes the cable card slot so it can only receive antenna-based channels. The company believes some users who haven't gone full cord-cutter yet may be willing to take the plunge if some channels remain available to them at first.
