Whether VM adopt the Bolt or an improved Roamio (or more likely the software of each in new VM hardware), only they will know, anyone who does know will be under a NDA.

This is what I was referring to. It is a Q & A with Ira Bahr, Tivo's CMO on the Tivo community forums. I read this several months ago and found the whole thing interesting and it is well worth a read.
This is an extract from the first post by Ira, where he talks about a better product than the bolt being developed for a 2016 release, and expands on that later in the thread.

As an overarching thought for this whole conversation I would emphasize what many of you have already inferred. And that is, that the Bolt product was not really designed for the TiVo enthusiast. So your lukewarm reaction is not unexpected. Bolt is low on Tuners, light on storage, doesn’t fit into your racks and really doesn’t offer this group much more than 4K and software features you figure we’ll roll-down anyway.
So this leads to “why the hell did you NOT design for the TiVo enthusiast?” First, we already have a roadmap plan to bring you something you’ll like way better in 2016 (more on this shortly).
