The TiVo Premiere 4/XL4 needs a network connection to stream or transfer shows to other
TiVo devices and mobile devices. It also uses a network connection to make regular
connections to the TiVo service, where it gets updated show listings, service updates, and other
information. The Network screen includes details about the last successful connection to the
TiVo service and allows you to change your network settings.
From the TiVo Central screen, select 'Settings & Messages,' then 'Settings,' then 'Network.'
Options on this screen include:
Connect to the TiVo service now Normally, you don't need to select this option — the TiVo
Premiere 4/XL4 connects to the TiVo service automatically every few hours. However, you
may need to connect to the TiVo service as a routing troubleshooting step. Select this option to
connect to the service. After you start the connection, the status of the connection is displayed.
You can watch live TV, set up recordings, and search for shows while the connection is in
progress.
