First blush I don't think it is Bolt related... I'd reboot the router for starters. Also try pinging the "blocked" domains from your PC and see if they are reachable (hopefully they haven't configured the server(s) to not answer so it's a valid test). You can go from there based on the results...
Have you gone into the TiVo and changed (updated) the DNS? It might force TiVo to resolve the IP address (again) and perhaps refresh the "cookie" I know you switched to wireless and it worked for a bit although DNS probably remained the same.
It's an odd issue. if I remember (right) you have multiple TiVos? I'd probably transfer any recordings (you care about) and do a clear & delete everything. I believe it uses a different partition so surely you would be good to go afterwards...
Somehow I think the chipset determines performance more so than "cheaper overall casing"... regarding performance. Regarding "problems" I don't see how the fact the "Basic" requires less power and it happens to have a "cheaper case" would lead to being less reliable.
It's a product targeted at the (largest) market... now whether they can compete in the big pond is another story. If they "satisfied" their existing market it would virtually make it less attractive to those they are targeting...
In most cases they no longer produce/stock older models - simply easier all around.
The case material itself will typically have virtually no affect on cooling. And in this case the cases weren't designed to dissipate heat via their material.
Completely irrelevant unless it's outside the recommended operating temperatures.
Rather they are going for another market (a much larger one) versus a user's tunnel vision which only sees what's right for them.
Crowded because it's a (large) market... hence a chance.
Recast's performance is virtually irrelevant. Amazon is Amazon and if that isn't enough it's cheaper. You make the case why they will win below.
That number is so low it's virtually irrelevant - certainly not worth tailoring your product to and risk aliening the actual market you are going for.
Exactly why TiVo can't win in the OTA DVR market and it's not large enough to survive as a small fish.
You don't have to be a major player in a large market to exist... that's the point.
That's because it's no longer a thing. Legacy pay-TV is dying a fast death across all markets and OTA isn't going to be adopted by the younger market (unless it's via their phone
). Just might be why TiVo is trying to hit the streaming market... at least potential customers exist.
I got the same/similar error and I re-selected the recording for playback and the second time it played... not yet dependent on the Internet.
If you block mm1.tivoservice.com you shouldn't see the arrows (or guide ads). Based on your usage (with mine I have no issues) you might see this or that... such as not loading the stations logos in the guide. Actually if you can live with blocking mm1.tivoservice.com you don't have to block any other domains... it removes both ads (Pre-roll and guide) in my experience.
If that's the only problem there isn't any... doesn't take me much longer to chat online (to get it removed) than a post here of which many seem to have endless time for...
If you block mm1.tivoservice.com recordings will begin instantly. However there can be some consequences as has been posted numerous times... such no station logos.
I opted out for the heck of it (was using Pi-hole) and they have never returned... been several months.
