Still a newbie question, a how to enable OTA Guide on Bolt - embarrassed but have to ask

Advertisements

Though I bought a 1TB Bolt from Tivo 2+ years ago after much research here and the Tablo community because I thought I would use Comcast and maybe OTA. I even bought a Mohu leaf and hooked it up.

When my 2 year "contract" with Comcast was over the increased it their "standard" price. I will never understand or accept this contract and bizarre standard pricing these cable and Sat guys have. I finally gave up on Comcast and canceled. So I did a new somewhat extensive search on the streaming broadcasters who allowed FF on commercials. It seems only the Playstation Vue is an option. And most of them have cloud DVRs and don't allow Tivo DVR as an option. Depressing.

So now I have the OTA working but am lost on how to set up the Bolt to access the 2 week program guide and schedule a few shows from the available 4, 5 channels, i.e CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox and PBS.

If I remove the Comcast Cable card will it all work magically? I can't seem to find any information on the Tivo site and a goog search yielded only the cable mode stuff. So I am assuming its simple but as I said, I have not done any OTA recordings yet...does anybody have the answer? I would greatly appreciate the help. Gary

 

Thank you sfhub, very much appreciate yr speedy reply.

I'll be back soon for when I start the upgrade of the HD, I am still lurking on those threads. I was going to do that but got distracted by the pros/cons of various drives...but after having swapped out the hard drives for SSDs in my Toshiba and Dell laptops I am a bit more confident of cracking open the Bolt.
