TiVo's Bolt Vox DVR jumps into the future with voice control

Stop us if you've heard this one before: TiVo is updating its Bolt DVR lineup with a new remote, a new UI and a new name. The TiVo Bolt Vox (and TiVo Mini Vox) are easy to spot thanks to the remote's new bright blue button that is the key to the extra characters in their name. Following a trail blazed by many other media setups lately (Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Roku -- just to name a few) voice control is a central feature of the new hardware. TiVo has had universal search across platforms including broadcast television, cable TV and streaming for quite a while, but it's not just adding a microphone. Ok, so maybe it's not that much of a secret, but this does represent most noticeable revamp of TiVo's UI since the first boxes appeared, with a renewed focus on predictions and personalization.
