I have a new just out of the box Bolt ver1. At the beginning of guided setup, where it asks country - usa or canada, if I hit info it shows 20.5.4.silver.rc10 at the bottom of the screen and I want to keep it there, and not update if possible.
Why do I not want to update? Roamios are having an issue recording Comcast H.264 channels in several areas - Atlanta, Chicago, Nashville, San Francisco. There's a growing 4 page thread about the issue here:

One theory is that the newer tivo software has something to do with it. And specifically the roamio software since TivoHD and Premieres are able to record the channels.
if you go back in the thread, you can see that Tivo and Comcast have been aware of the issue for weeks, but there hasn't been any status update.
And no board members have posted if there is a way to revert back to an earlier software version, e.g. flash back somehow with an older software image. Perhaps that is impossible and the only way to revert would be for tivo to push out an older version to a specific tsn. if there is another way, please post or PM.
However, an old software version is sitting on this Bolt, but how do I run it that way to test the H.264 channels running the older software? If I continue with guided setup, isn't 20.6.1.rc14 unavoidable?
There is no need for guide data in this scenario. If I tune the bolt directly to the channels in question, they will either buffer properly and record or not. If I could get just a single test pass and tune some channels prior to reboot and the update being applied it would shed light on the issue - either way whether the problem channels fail or work under the old software.
I started guided setup, entered the zip code, made the initial connection, and got to the point where I get to a screen titled "Service Update Available. This update should take less than an hour, and the Tivo box will restart twice." So the tivo knows at this point that there is an update to be had. it may already be on the hard drive waiting to be applied if I continue with another connection. I have rebooted and it just takes me back to the beginning - select country: usa or canada and info shows the same software version as before.
But then the box wants to connect to the internet again, and I can't bypass or side step that. disconnecting the ethernet just stops the process. tried leaving bolt connected to ethernet and router, but disconnected cable modem hoping it would simply fail and let me get to a home screen - no luck.
Are there any workarounds?
Is there some sort of kickstart?
or way to fake the connection?
or configuration to not accept a service update?
I tried connecting to the Bolt via kmttg, pytivo, and through the tivoweb interface - all with no luck.
Other ideas? THANK YOU.
