According to the company, the TiVo BOLT is all about speed, getting viewers to and through their content faster than ever. BOLT allows viewers to skip entire commercial breaks in a single bound at the press of a button.

TiVo can also save subscribers money by getting out from under the rental charges of boxes from the cable operator.
