Tour Five: Beyond the TiVo Box
By now you've gotten a sense of how your TiVo® DVR is constantly working to find you all of
your favorite entertainment. But the TiVo® service is about more than just recording
programs—much more. Connecting your DVR to a home network opens up a whole new world
of digital home entertainment.

Music, Photos, & More

When you connect your DVR to your home network, it becomes a digital home entertainment
center, with access to even more features. You can find many of these features by selecting
Music, Photos, & More from the TiVo Central® screen.
•Digital Music & Photos. Watch slideshows of your digital photos on your big screen TV, and
listen to playlists of your MP3s on your stereo system—and control it all with your TiVo
DVR remote.
•Home Network Applications. Access other applications inside and outside your home
network (broadband Internet connection required). Home Network Applications are
indicated on the Music, Photos, & More screen by a computer icon:
You must enable the DVR to access Home Network Applications. To do this, select Enable
Home Network Applications, then press THUMBS UP ® three times, then ENTER.
•TiVo To GoTM Transfers. Transfer programs between your DVR and your computer—now
you can watch your favorite shows on your laptop while you’re on a business trip.
•Multi-Room Viewing. If you have more than one TiVo DVR connected to your home
network, you can transfer programs between them. That’s right, you can record programs in
the living room and watch them in the bedroom—or vice versa! You’ll find other TiVo
DVRs connected to your home network at the bottom of the Now Playing List.
If you have a home network,
connecting your DVR to it is easy.
