Eliminate the need for extra Ethernet wiring with this TiVo bridge MoCa 2.0 adapter, which lets you connect all of your TiVo devices to your network. Using your home's existing coaxial wires, this adapter connects your DVR even if your router is in another room. This TiVo bridge MoCa 2.0 adapter is backwards compatible with MoCa 1.1 for efficient transfer.

This unit creates a MOCA network that allows your DVR and Mini units to communicate with one another. The Mini is not a wifi unit and must have either an ethernet cable connection to the DVR or a MOCA network that uses the existing cable lines to connect to one another. There are multiple diagrams on the TiVo website to show you how to adapt the Bridge to your particular set up. One splitter and one filter on the incoming video signal and make the connections with the supplied cables and you are set up and ready to go in 15 minutes or so once you determine which configuration applies to your household set up. This is what you need if you don't have ethernet cables run from your router to the DVR and to the TiVo Mini. My modem is in my office on one side of the house and my DVR is on the opposite side. I did not to want to have to pay someone to climb around in my attic to run ethernet cable through the walls and across the attic. The TiVo Bridge makes that unnecessary by creating the MOCA network through your existing cable lines. Problem solved.

Easy to set up once you get your MOCA network up. My MOCA network was set up with addition of the TiVo Bridge as I didn't want to have to run ethernet cable from one side of the house to the other. The Bridge allows you DVR and Mini to communicate via the same existing cable lines that they get their programing from. Easy to understand diagrams are provided on the TiVo website to show how to set up for your particular set up needs.

Excellent DVR

The unit performed admirably once I got it up and running. The problem connecting it with the cable company wasn't with the DVR but the cable company's inability to properly pair the Motorola cable modem card that they provided. But after 3 days of going back and forth I finally got to a desk jockey at the local Vyve connection desk that was willing to go the extra mile and find the correct procedure for this relatively new model. Has performed flawlessly ever since. If you want to own your own DVR on your cable TV network then this is the one to get. 6 tuners means hardly ever a conflict of time with your favorite programs. And 3Tb of space provides ample room to save lots of programs. And if that isn't enough you can get an optional external drive. We've recorded many shows in the 26 days since it was connected and are only at 15% of the useable space on the hard drive.

is this ota/cable compatable?

Strictly cable only. If you want both go with the standard Bolt in either the 500Gb or 1Tb model. Downside of these models this that they have only 4 tuners compared to the Bolt+ with 6.

Will the bolt record streamed content from NETFLIX, YOUTUBE, AMAZON PRIME VIDEO etc, or will it just stream them. Internet WiFi connection only. No cable tv service provider.

You cannot record streaming material with any DVR as far as I know. But the bigger question is why would you need to? You can stream it at anytime you wish.
