Billing errors - annual fee for my lifetime bolt?

I am with Rodney, but check how much will be the charge monthly or annual of your Tivo Bolt, Customer service told me $19.99 monthly.

Instead if I purchased a new Tivo Edge I will pay $9.99 Montly and $99.99 annual, so if I sell my old Tivo Bolt I will replace with a new for $200.

I aggre that 3 years of free subscription was a good deal and my wife did not like the Edge new interface I hope that will be safe for lther 3 or 4 years more.

I go the same message.. I pay annually and I did pay it 10/5/2019. If they charge my card, I'll get my CC to refund it. Won't bother calling India to get it fixed.

 

I did the same thing Rodney picked up one off fleabay with the one year free in March 2017, and have never been billed since, this morning there was a video message saying that they hadn't billed me But that was going to change to the tune of 149.99 a year.
The bad thing is the network jack just died on mine and sisters Bolt only lasted a year and a half, at the present time I don't have a lot of faith in the bolts.
I have an 20hr HD unit that's been running strong since 2009 and 2 Roamio pro's since 2016, any way I saw this post last week and had my eye open for a replacement for the Bolt, and found a Roamio Plus on fleybay brand new in the box for $100.00, I also have a 3Tb WD drive just like the pros have to throw in it. by by Bolt!

 

FYI: I've had a similar issue. I purchased two lifetime subscriptions previously, and could have sworn that I had transferred one of them to the Bolt I purchased in 2016.

In 2017, I received a renewal notice, saying the following:
"Unless we notify you otherwise, the price for the renewal of your TiVo annual service plan is $0.00 (plus any applicable taxes) per year. "

I suppose they have now notified me, and with the whole family being home, and the Tivo being our only TV, I don't really have a choice at the moment but to pay what they're asking ($159 including tax).

But will definitely be on the lookout for a better option before I have to pay next year!

Anyone know of a good alternative to the Bolt that:
*Can have 2+ terabytes of storage
*Supports the "fast play" mode with sound (we use that extensively for sports!)
*For which starting and stopping fast mode works reliably (which it does not on Tivo - as it sometimes randomly skips)
*Supports all the streaming services including HBO GO (which Tivo/Comcast does not), Disney Plus (which Tivo does not), Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc...
*Supports Apple AirPlay 2 (which Tivo does not)

All these issues have been accumulating, and am now motivated to find a better solution!

 

You want lots of storage, great trick play features and access to all apps? As well as access to cable tv?? This will take more than one device. If what you wanted existed we would be on THAT forum!
