Returning A Tuner For Use By Another Device; Tuner Conflicts - TiVo Mini Operator's Manual

Using TiVo Mini

Returning a tuner for use by another device

Unless you explicitly "exit out," a tuner will continue to be allocated to TiVo Mini for an hour and a
half. After this time, and without remote activities, it will be automatically returned to the pool for
other TiVo devices to access, and you will see a message to this effect.
To "exit out," go to TiVo Central, and press the TiVo button. This releases the tuner.
