Network settings
The TiVo Mini needs a network connection to stream shows from a host TiVo DVR. It also uses
a network connection to make regular connections to the TiVo service, where it gets updated
program listings, service updates, and other information. The Network screen includes details
about the last successful connection to the TiVo service.
From the TiVo Central screen, select ‘Settings & Messages,’ then ‘Settings,’ then ‘Network.’
Options on this screen include:
Connect to the TiVo Service now Normally, you don’t need to select this option — the TiVo Mini
connects to the TiVo service automatically every few hours. However, you may need to connect
to the TiVo service as a routing troubleshooting step. Select this option to connect to the service.
After you start the connection, the status of the connection is displayed. You can watch live TV
and search for shows while the connection is in progress.
