Three: Accessories

TiVo offers several accessories to extend and enhance the entertainment experience both inside, and outside, the home. Each of these accessories are easy to install and offer cutting-edge features and high value to the customer.

TiVo® Mini:

TiVo Mini is an IP-based solution and requires an active network connection

for every standard installation. TiVo Mini allows you to watch live TV or recorded shows streamed from another TiVo DVR. It also lets you access content from Hulu Plus, YouTube, Pandora®, Spotify® and more. The TiVo Mini requires at least one 4-tuner TiVo box to be on the network. Before installation, the device must have been activated on the same account as the accompanying DVR.

TiVo® Stream:

TiVo Stream is a streaming accessory available for use with iOS 5.1 devices* or later and Premiere DVRs. TiVo Stream allows you to stream recorded shows from a TiVo Premiere series DVR simultaneously to multiple mobile devices, allows you to watch a show on a mobile device as it's being recorded and wire- lessly transfer shows from your TiVo to a mobile device. Before installing, a TiVo Stream must have been activated on the same account as the accompanying DVRs. The TiVo Stream has its own TiVo Service Number on the bottom of the unit.

Networking options:

TiVo Stream can only be connected to a home network using an Ethernet cable. This connection can be anywhere on the network, but TiVo recommends placing the unit in close proximity to the wireless router (see diagram below).
