Multi-Room Viewing

Multi-Room Viewing lets you transfer programs from one DVR in your home to another
DVR. To use Multi-Room Viewing, you need at least two DVRs, and:
• The DVRs must be on the same TiVo service account. (The TiVo service subscription
for each DVR must be owned by the same person.)
• The DVRs must be connected to the same home network. For more information, see
Chapter 7, "Connecting to a Home Network."
• Each DVR must have active TiVo Plus service.
• Home Media Option must be purchased separately for each DVR.
After you have connected the DVRs to your home network, the Now Playing list of each
DVR will show the names of the others. (NOTE: There may be compatibility issues
between your new Toshiba Digital Media Server DVR and older Series2 TiVo DVRs.)
How to Transfer a Program
Using Multi-Room Viewing couldn't be easier. To transfer a program from one DVR
within your home to another DVR:
1. In Now Playing on the receiving DVR, select the DVR containing the program you
want to transfer.
2. Press SELECT on the name of a program you want to transfer. (You cannot transfer a
program while it is still recording.) Then select "Watch on this TV."
On the Getting Program screen, you can choose to watch the program as it is transferring.
If you do, you might experience intermittent delays in the transfer.
