MoCA network (recommended): Your TiVo DVR is connected to a coaxial cable coming from the wall. You must have MoCA enabled in your home to use this option.

Don’t have MoCA yet? No problem! Simply connect your Roamio Plus/Pro or Premiere 4/XL4/Elite to your home network using an Ethernet cable. (Make sure the coax cable is also con- nected.) Then, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Network.’ Choose ‘Change Network Settings,’ and then choose ‘Use this DVR to create a MoCA network.’ That’s it! You have a MoCA network throughout your home! Visit tivo.com/MoCA for more details.

Ethernet network: Your TiVo DVR is connected to an open port on your router or to an Ethernet jack in your wall using an Ether- net cable.

2.Make a test connection to the TiVo service. Go to ‘Settings & Messages’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘Network’ > ‘View network diagnos- tics’ > ‘Test network connection.’

tivo dvr specifications

TiVo, a pioneer in the field of digital video recorders (DVRs), revolutionized the way we consume television. Since its inception in the late 1990s, the TiVo DVR has become synonymous with time-shifting TV, enabling viewers to record their favorite shows, fast-forward through commercials, and watch content at their convenience.

One of the main features of TiVo DVR is its intuitive user interface. The TiVo interface is designed to be user-friendly, allowing users to navigate through their recordings, live TV, and on-demand content efficiently. The search function is robust, making it easy to find specific shows, movies, or even actors. Users can also browse and discover new content through TiVo's recommendations, which utilize an algorithm to tailor suggestions based on viewing habits.

The TiVo DVR supports various technologies, including high-definition (HD) recording and playback. Most models accommodate both standard and cable television signals, enabling users to record from a variety of sources. Advanced models offer 4K HDR streaming capabilities, ensuring that the viewing experience meets modern standards of picture quality.

One of the standout features of TiVo DVR is its ability to integrate streaming services. Users can access popular platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video directly from the TiVo interface, creating a seamless viewing experience that bridges traditional cable and digital streaming.

TiVo also emphasizes storage capacity. Depending on the model, users can record a significant amount of content, ranging from hundreds to thousands of hours of programming. The platform often includes additional features, such as multi-room viewing, allowing users to watch their recorded content on various devices throughout their home.

The "Season Pass" feature is another highlight, which allows users to automatically record all episodes of their favorite shows. Combined with the "WishList" option, where viewers can set parameters to record any show matching their interests, TiVo ensures that fans don't miss a beat.

With over-the-air recording capabilities, TiVo DVR serves as an ideal solution for cord-cutters, providing access to broadcast television without the need for a traditional cable subscription. Enhanced with Wi-Fi connectivity, TiVo DVRs enable remote access, allowing users to schedule recordings from their smartphones or tablets while on the go.

In summary, TiVo DVR represents a comprehensive solution for modern television viewing, combining user-friendly technology, extensive storage options, and access to a diverse range of content in an integrated platform. With ongoing advancements, TiVo continues to adapt to the evolving landscape of entertainment, ensuring it remains a favored choice for viewers seeking flexibility and convenience in their TV consumption.
