1. They tell you you need a CableCARD, and this is true. BUT....what they don't tell you is that the CableCARD will only handle BASIC Cable. If you have ANY tiers above basic....you have to have an additional little box called a Tuning Adapter. The typical cable service tech does not carry either of these on their truck and you have to go to your local cable TV office to pick them up.
2. The Tuning Adapter is required for Tier 1, 2, movie channels, pay per view, video on demand, etc....because all of these channels require individual IP addresses. The CableCARD alone won't cut it. My first Tuning Adapter was defective...which delayed full functionality for almost a week after getting it. Make sure you get a cable service tech who is familiar with CableCARD's and Tuning Adapters. In my experience....very few are.
3. The Bolt communicates with the Mini via either Ethernet (fine if your house is hard wired with Cat5 cable), or a networking protocol called MoCa (stands for Multimedia over Coax Alliance). No need to buy external MoCa attachments to set this sort of network up....the Bolt will act as a MoCa bridge itself. In effect....it is using your home's coax cable (that you use for Cable TV) as it's network connection. BUT.....
4. Make sure you have your cable guys install a MoCa filter on your in-house cabling to prevent diluting the strength of the connection between your Bolt and your Mini. My cable guys put the MoCa filter in the attic where the line from outside enter my home. There is a splitter to send individual cables to each room that has a TV and they installed the filter just before the splitter. What that does (they said)....it it prevents the MoCa signals between your Bolt and Mini from going outside your home and down the cable lines to the neighbors house...diluting the signal. Before I got that filter....the Mini would lose connection to the Bolt frequently and it was a pain to get it to reconnect. I used to have to reboot my router, my Bolt, AND my Mini in a specific sequence and go through a lot of rigamarole to get it to connect IF it would connect. NO MORE! With a tighter network....it connects quickly and easily without having to reboot everything.
This setup is a DVR....yes. But oh so much more! You don't have to know the date, time, and channel. IT KNOWS all of that. You tell it what you want to record....and it goes out there and finds it.....INCLUDING STREAMING Channels such as NetFlix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and much much more. (My cable guy was shocked to know it would do that....he said it was "Dope!") It also can be set up to record entire seasons of any TV show you enjoy.
As I mentioned...the Bolt has what is in effect a built-in AppleTV or Roku. Most of the common streaming channels that you can watch in addition to your cable channels.
The remote is both IR (have to aim it at the Bolt or Mini)....AND....radio frequency....which means you don't have to aim it at the TV or the Bolt. You can aim it the opposite direction....it doesn't care....it just works. It is also a smart remote. It learns your TV or AV receiver's codes and you can use it to turn your TV on/off, change video inputs, adjust volume on either the TV OR your AV receiver. Wifey loves not having to use so many remotes!
In closing....although the first several days were frustrating and tested my patience....it was all worth it once I finally got everything configured properly. LOVE IT!
