Proprietary and Confidential
 The mobile devices TiVo Stream supports are as follows: iPad, iPhone®, or iPod Touch®
running Apple iOS® 5.1 or greater.
 TiVo Stream requires that DHCP is enabled on the router.
TiVo Stream ventilation requirements
The TiVo Stream design includes many small ventilation openings on the top and bottom surfaces of
the device. The requirement is to not cover up the ventilation holes on either the top or bottom of the
device.
TiVo requires that the product be placed on a hard surface. This is so that the “feet” of the TiVo
Stream can provide the necessary space between the bottom ventilation holes and the surface the
device is resting upon. Thus, placing the TiVo Stream on carpeting or another soft surface is not
supported.
Home network and account requirements
The home network and account requirements for TiVo Stream are as follows:
 The TiVo Stream must be on the same TiVo account as the source DVR.
 All devices must be on the same network and subnet.
 All devices’ accounts must be activated and in good standing.
 The host DVR must be connected to the home router via a high-bandwidth connection
(Ethernet or MoCA).
 No more than 10 devices (with a TSN) can be associated with a user account.
TiVo Stream output resolutions by device
Table 1–1 describes the TiVo Stream output resolutions by mobile device.
Regarding TiVo Stream and parental controls
Even if Parental Controls are enabled on the host DVR, TiVo Stream will show content that would be
limited by parental controls. To respond to this limitation, TiVo suggests that parents put a password
on their Apple iOS device to prevent children from viewing inappropriate content, just as they should
for such applications as Netflix on Apple iOS devices.
