Is it possible for me to use my current TIVO Bolt for just OTA? I am considering switching to all OTA, but don't want to re-buy a TIVO OTA unit.
Is this just a matter of getting a good antenna and then resetting up the TIVO for off-air - or is there something in my BOLT that will go haywire when I pull out the cable cards?

No, it can't. The tuners are not the same for OTA.

A 6 tuner Tivo model is for cable only. A 4 tuner Tivo model that is meant for cable or OTA can do either.

It depends. If it is the original Bolt with 4 tuners, then it can do either CableCard or OTA. If it is a 6-tuner Bolt then it can only support CableCard.

Great - thanks all. I have a TDC84900 - 4 tuner model and it should to OTA just fine.
