Streaming. When you watch shows from apps like Netflix, and
from your cable company's video on demand service (if
available), you're streaming the shows from that source. You
can also stream recordings saved on your TiVo DVR to your
mobile device, or stream shows and live TV from a supported
TiVo DVR to a TiVo DVR or Mini in a different room.
Host. When your TiVo DVR streams shows to another TiVo
DVR, your DVR is a "host." In addition, a TiVo Mini connects to
a TiVo DVR "host" to access the DVR's My Shows list, tuners,
and program information.
Client. The TiVo box receiving streaming shows from another
TiVo DVR is the "client." (A TiVo Mini is always a client, because
it can only receive streaming shows. Your TiVo DVR can be a
host sometimes and a client at other times.)
Network Connection. Your TiVo DVR can connect to your
home network through either a wireless or wired connection
(using either Ethernet or MoCA). (The TiVo Mini requires a
wired connection.)
TiVo service. If the TiVo box is the body, the TiVo service is
the brains! The TiVo box uses the program information
provided by the TiVo service to power the program guide,
allow you to search for shows, and more.
Multi-tuner. A tuner is a device found inside TiVo DVRs, TVs
— anything designed to receive TV signals. A tuner picks one
channel to display; it "tunes" to that channel. Your TiVo DVR
has multiple tuners inside and can watch and record multiple
shows at once. Pressing the LIVE TV button while watching
Live
TV
live TV will cycle through your tuners. A TiVo Mini does not
have any tuners inside; it "borrows" a tuner from its host.
