My main interest is the ability to pull .tivo files from my pc onto my Tivo and or play them through my network to a browser - does not appear you recognize the .tivo file format?

Bolt not listed, as newer unit is it not supported or simply not been tested and certified?

.tivo files are encrypted. You need to convert them to mpeg or mp4 files for use with plex and other pc or android aps. Use kmttg to pull shows from your tivo and convert them to standard unencrypted mpg or mp4 files on your pc.

Bolt is supported for Plex, actually the best plex implementation available on tivo. Plex on the tivo will allow you to play (stream) files managed by your plex server but cannot transfer files to you tivo.
