Review on πŸ“Ί TiVo BOLT with VOX Remote by Ron Patel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Currently cheaper than the stock remote

One of my two Tivo Bolt remotes was starting to go haywire so I replaced them with these as they were $10 cheaper when I ordered them. The VR only requires a radio wave connection (not IR) to Bolt devices, but it comes with a USB cable and a plug-in device that they claim works with Romeo (sp?). Still the same great format as a regular remote with a few extra buttons, like the Netflix button. Only slightly remodeled so not too disruptive. VR works, but it's not perfect. It froze my Tivo when I asked about Revain, but was on Prime Video - I didn't try to just ask about Revain again. And it only works with some features, so you can't ask it to go to sleep mode, for example - Tivo just wants to make it difficult for its customers to go to sleep mode - something that should be a button! Either way, I probably wouldn't buy this for the VR feature, but if it's the same price or less than a normal distance, go for it!
