Using TiVo Stream
This chapter describes the TiVo App user interface for streaming and downloading to mobile devices
via the TiVo Stream. This chapter also describes the TiVo Stream system information available from
the TiVo App and the TiVo Stream System Information web page.
TiVo Stream does not have a display. You use the mobile device for both setting up and viewing the
content from the DVR through the TiVo Stream.
To enjoy your favorite programs whether you’re in the kitchen, an airplane, or a hotel room, all you
need is a TiVo Stream, a TiVo Premiere DVR, and an iPad®, iPhone®, or iPod Touch®. TiVo Stream
allows you to:
 Stream up to four recorded programs simultaneously.
 Watch a program on a mobile device as it’s being recorded.
 Wirelessly download programs to your mobile devices.
 Download a one-hour program in as little as 15 minutes.
Note: For all streaming and downloading operations, with exception of playing back a recording
that has been downloaded to the mobile device, your mobile device must be connected to
your local wireless network. These features are not available when the TiVo App is
connected via the Away access mode.
Streaming a recording
This section describes how you can stream content from your TV to your mobile devices using the
TiVo App.
TiVo Stream can only stream recordings of linear copy-once and copy-freely television content
(including in-progress recordings) to up to four mobile devices simultaneously.
You can stream from one or more Premiere Series DVRs on the home network, as well as use TiVo-
like trick modes such as pause, scrub, 30-second advance, 8-second instant replay, and gestures. You
can also stream recordings that are in-progress.
To stream a recording to your iPad or other mobile device:
1. Tap the TiVo App icon on your mobile device (see Figure 3–1).
