From David Pogue's review of the new TiVo Bolt:
Quote:You can now play back shows at 1.3 times their actual speed, too, without affecting the pitch of the audio. (You hit the Play and then Select buttons on the remote to turn this Quick Mode on or off.)The anti-speed-up faction on this thread makes the feature sound like it would be used by only a super-narrow niche of Kodi users, but one of the most popular consumer video companies in the world felt it was important enough to add to their new flagship product... and it got nothing but praise from the pre-eminent consumer product reviewer of our time.
1.3X is a good choice. It gets you through a 60-minute show in 46 minutes without turning the TV characters into chipmunks. The musical tempos are a little faster, and there’s a certain overcaffeinated quality to people who already talk fast. But for sports, awards shows, and Kubrick movies, it’s fantastic.
