Installing TiVo Stream
To install the TiVo Stream device, follow these steps:
1. The Operator activates TiVo Stream on the same user account as the host DVR(s). Be sure
to activate all the TiVo devices at the same time.
Note: There is an approximate wait of ten to fifteen minutes after activating the devices before
the TiVo Stream can call in and receive the authorization changes (Service State, Media
Access Key, etc.).
2. Verify that your TiVo DVR is connected to your home network using either a wired
Ethernet or MoCA connection.
Note: TiVo Stream does not support a TiVo DVR connected wirelessly.
3. Connect the TiVo Stream to an open port on your router using an Ethernet cable.
4. Connect the power cord from the back of the TiVo Stream to a power source.
5. Perform a Test Internet Connection from all the TiVo DVRs.
Running Test Internet Connection ensures that the DVR can download the latest list of
devices in its share group, which now includes the recently added TiVo Stream.
Note: Before running the Test Internet Connection, make sure that at least 15 minutes
has elapsed since TiVo Stream was activated (in Step 1).
From TiVo Central, select Settings & Messages > Settings > Network > View network
diagnostics > Test Internet Connection.
6. Wait for the LED on the back of the TiVo Stream to turn solid white.
This LED is located to the left of the Ethernet connector (see Figure 2–1). The LED
should turn white in about three minutes for a normal boot up. If a firmware update is
being applied, it may take up to ten minutes. For details about the TiVo Stream LED
sequence and what each LED display indicates, see LED description on page 4.
