Wired connection. Your TiVo Mini must connect to your home
network through a wired Ethernet or MoCA connection.
• Ethernet. To use this connection method, simply plug an
Ethernet cable connected to your home network into your
TiVo Mini.
• MoCA
®
. A MoCA (pronounced “Mocha,” like the chocolate-
flavored coffee drink!) connection is a great option if you
don’t have easy access to a wired Ethernet cable. MoCA,
which stands for Multimedia over Coax, delivers the same
high-speed network connection you get through an Ethernet
cable, but delivers it through your existing coax wire (the
wire you use to receive cable TV). When you set up MoCA
in your home, your TiVo box will receive cable TV and
connect to your home network through that one cable! Just
follow the instructions you’ll find at tivo.com/moca
, and
you’ll be ready to go in no time.
For more details on connecting to your home network, see the
Start Here poster that came with your TiVo box.
TiVo service. The TiVo Mini uses the program information
provided by the TiVo service to power the program guide, allow
you to search for shows, and more. Your Mini will not work
without the TiVo service.
Tuner. A tuner is a device found inside set top boxes, DVRs,
TVs — anything designed to receive TV signals. A tuner is what
lets you watch a specific channel or video on demand show. It
picks a show or channel to display; and it “tunes” to it. Your
TiVo Mini does not have its own tuner inside. Instead, when you
want to watch TV or video on demand, your TiVo Mini
“borrows” a tuner from the host DVR. You’ll choose a host
DVR and set it up to share a tuner with your TiVo Mini when
you go through Guided Setup.
