3.3 Network-Enabled TiVo Service Features. You must have a network-enabled TiVo DVR to use
any network-enabled TiVo service features such as music, photos and Multi-Room Viewing
(see Section 3.3.1 below), access to PC-Based Media (see Section 3.3.2 below)), TiVoToGo
feature (see Section 3.3.3 below), and third party download or streaming services. A network-
enabled TiVo DVR has an established network connection through the TiVo DVR's built-in
USB port (including a wired (Ethernet) or wireless USB network adapter); is running a TiVo
software version that supports home networking; and has an active subscription to the TiVo
service. Some network-enabled TiVo service features require installation of the then-current
TiVo Desktop application (www.tivo.com/desktop) on a home computer that is connected to the
same home network as your TiVo DVR. Some TiVo service features require a broadband
connection to the Internet through the home network. The Multi-Room Viewing feature requires
two network-enabled TiVo DVRs that are enabled for Multi-Room Viewing. The TiVoToGo
feature requires a TiVo DVR that is running a TiVo software version that supports that feature.
Not all TiVo DVRs are able to use network-enabled features. Moreover, even among TiVo's
network-enabled DVRs, the Multi-Room Viewing feature may not permit particular TiVo
DVRs to transfer content among one another due to compatibility issues among manufacturers
or copy protection mechanisms used by copyright owners, studios or broadcasters. In addition,
the TiVoToGo feature may not permit particular TiVo DVRs to transfer content to home
computers for the same reasons. Please visit our TiVo Home Media Features FAQs at
www.tivo.com/mediafaq for details.
The Multi-Room Viewing and TiVoToGo features are also turned on by default when you
subscribe to the TiVo service. You may tum these features off using Manage My Account at
www.tivo.com/manage.
3.3.1 Multi-Room Viewing Feature. You must have at least two (2) TiVo network-enabled DVRs each
with a TiVo service subscription to take advantage of the Multi-Room Viewing feature. The
Multi-Room Viewing feature is intended solely to enable the transfer of content among TiVo
DVRs within a single household. Using the Multi-Room Viewing feature, you may transfer
content only among TiVo DVRs on the same TiVo account and only among TiVo DVRs on the
same network subnet. For example, if one TiVo DVR in your home resides on your network at
192.168.1.5, any TiVo DVR used for Multi-Room Viewing tnust reside on that same network,
having an IP address of 192.168.l.x. Any TiVo DVR that resides on a different network, such as
a TiVo DVR with an IP address of 192.168.2.5, is not permitted to participate in Multi-Room
Viewing. In addition, you may only transfer content among ten ( 1 0) TiVo DVRs on a single
TiVo account within your household. Unauthorized transfers or distribution of copyrighted
works outside of your home may constitute an infringement of the rights of copyright holders.
TiVo reserves the right to terminate the TiVo service accounts of users who transfer or
distribute content in violation of this Agreement either to an unauthorized device or otherwise.
3.3.2 Access to PC-Based Media. Access to media that is stored on your home computer ("PC-based
media") via your TiVo DVR is provided through the TiVo Desktop application, which is
available at www.tivo.com/desktop. The TiVo Desktop application permits you to access PC-
based media from your TiVo DVR via your home network.
The TiVo Desktop application itself does not contain any security mechanisms that would
prevent third parties from accessing your home network. If your home network has Internet
access but does not include a firewall, information on your home network can be easily seen by
anyone on the Internet. Most firewall products stop all traffic originating from the Internet,
protecting your systems from malicious network attacks or curious browsers interested in the
files you have on your computer. A firewall can be installed to protect an individual computer or
to protect a whole home network. Because the TiVo Desktop application makes media (e.g.,
music, photos) you publish to your TiVo DVR available on your home network, TiVo
recommends that you install a firewall that protects your home network. If your network does
