Tivo Bolt+ Info - No OTA ATSC Support?!?

I heard that the Tivo Bolt+ was announced/released recently and since I was aware of the Bolt (4 Tuner) and it's support of both cable card and OTA/ATSC I thought I would take a look since I am a recent cord cutter (Win7 WMC still working well).

Guess what cord cutters, it looks like the new 3TB, 6 Tuner Bolt+ does not support ATSC like the original Bolt does...

This really surprised me since it seems like limiting your available customer base and a step backward.

No surprise here. This matches how they handled the Roamio line.

And let's face it, OTA in general--with far fewer channels than cable--doesn't really need 6 tuners. And then there's the signal level issue; splitting a single antenna like that might cause them more headache than it's worth with respect to customer service. And the cableCARD spec is set to allow 6 simultaneous streams, so...

No surprise here.

All good points when you put it that way.

That leaves the big benefits of the Bolt+ for CC users are the 2 extra tuners and 3TB of built in storage.

Buy your Bolt OTA from Weaknees and have them update the drive if you want the storage.

I agree, you can never have too much storage.

It has a eSATA port if you want to upgrade the storage later. I'm definitely interested but at $1050 with lifetime, I can wait. Wonder how long until the 4K minis drop.
