No one leaks quite like TiVo… as the forthcoming TiVo Bolt has just shown up in five YouTube videos that seemingly document time to launch, play, etc for the development staff. However, for us civilians, there are a few interesting nuggets.
First, the Bolt will feature flatter interface elements, as previously disclosed via patent filings and an overseas demo. Next, we can confirm the TiVo Bolt really is the “Series 6” — which reinforces differing internals than Roamio and perhaps bolster the case for those 4k capabilities I’d been alerted to. Lastly, lo and behold, the System Information screen is finally rendered in glorious HD! Will 2015 be the year that TiVo finally and completely abandons the SDUI? (probably not)

Other nuggets... Code name is obviously Minos, which roughly translates into "The HDUI is nearly complete!" Also, whatever model this is has a pretty small hard drive (assuming we're not recording 4k content that doesn't yet exist) - maybe 320-500GB.
TiVo videos and Alex Jones weather modification conspiracy videos from the same source. They certainly have varied interests.
Anyway, the UI looks very snappy.
Yah, it does appear faster than existing hardware in these limited clips...
