Network Settings
From the TiVo Central screen, select Messages & Settings, then Settings, then Network. From
this screen you have the following options:
• Connect to the TiVo
®
service now. Normally, you don’t need to select this option—the media
device connects to the TiVo service automatically, usually once a day. After you start the
connection, the status of the connection is displayed. You can watch live TV, set up
recordings, and search for programs while the connection is in progress.
• Change network settings. You can use this option to manually change your network settings
if needed. The settings available to you will vary depending on if you are using a wired or
wireless network.
– If you are using a Wired network, see “Wired (Ethernet) Network Settings” below.
– If you are using a Wireless network, see “Wireless Network Settings” below.
• View network status. This option lets you see information related to your network
connection.
• View network diagnostics. This option lets you test your connection to the TiVo service, see
a history of your video downloads and transfers, and run other diagnostic tests related to
your network connection.

The media device makes regular
connections to the TiVo
®
service to
get updated program listings and other
information. The connection usually lasts
less than five minutes. From time to time,
your media device may receive service
updates. In such cases, the connection
time may be longer.
The Network screen includes details about
the last successful connection to the TiVo
service.
