LTS (Live TV Streaming) from Host DVR
One of the main features of TiVo Mini is LTS (Live TV Streaming) from the Host DVR.
You simply press the LIVE TV button on TiVo Mini remote.
There are a few things to note about LTS on TiVo Mini, as described in the following sections:
 Tuning/channel-change time on page 23
 Tuner allocation on page 23
 Returning a tuner for use by another device on page 24
 Tuner conflicts on page 24
Tuning/channel-change time
Unlike changing channels and tuning to channels on a TiVo DVR, Live TV Streaming on TiVo Mini
requires a momentary pause for setup and buffering.
Tuner allocation
If there are multiple TiVo devices in a household, the use of the tuners on the Host DVR is on a first-
come, first-served basis. As described in Setting up TiVo Mini with Host DVR on page 17, only up to
two tuners can be allocated on the Host DVR.
