Preparing Host DVR for use with TiVo Mini

To prepare the Host DVR for use with TiVo Mini, follow these steps:
Note: This setup must be done in HDUI, but you can switch the Host DVR back to "TiVo with
SD Menus" after you have completed the setup.
1. Verify that the Host DVR meets the requirements listed in
requirements on page
2. Verify that the Host DVR is connected to the home network using either a wired Ethernet
or MoCA connection. If there is a wireless connection, disconnect it.
For wired Ethernet: Connect the Host DVR to an open port on the router or to an

Ethernet jack in the wall using an Ethernet cable.
For MoCA: If MoCA is enabled in the home, connect the coaxial cable from the

wall to the CABLE/MoCA port on the back of the Host DVR.
3. Allocate one of the tuners from the Host DVR to TiVo Mini. If you are installing more
than one Mini or other networked device, you can allocate up to two tuners so any two
networked devices can watch Live TV at the same time. (For more about how the tuners
are shared, see
Note: Any tuner allocated to networked devices can no longer be used to record shows.
a. Go to Messages & Settings > Settings > Remote, CableCARD, & Devices.
b. Select Allow Live TV on networked devices.
c. Depending on the number of Minis and other networked TiVo devices, choose one of
the following (you can allocate only up to two tuners per Host DVR, which the net-
worked devices will share):
Allow 1 tuner to be used by networked devices.

Allow 2 tuners to be used by networked devices.
