My original intention was to post that one shining moment when the Loonie was ahead of the dollar, but then I saw that headline and couldn't resist.

I know I should be able to figure this out
but for travel, as an American, do you want the dollar strong or weak compared to the country you are visiting?

Thoughts on Tivo Bolt? One button commercial skip is worth the cost to upgrade alone, and quick mode seems cool. Native 4K support is pretty awesome. The pricing structure -- building a year of service into the price -- seems like a game changer. The "if you keep paying for service, we will replace your broken box for $50 for life" thing is pretty amazing too, and gaps my biggest concern with upgrading to a Lifetime subscription. The ability to directly connect an external harddrive to the thing natively also awesome.

The negatives? 4 tuner limit, especially for those of us running multiple Tivo Minis off our box. Where the (bleep) is the 6 tuner model like Roamio Pro!?!

Of course, all anyone will discuss is the odd appearance of the box.

The negatives?

Subscription model.
The fact it still charges a monthly fee or the specific tweaks to the subscription model for this unit?
