![]() If you have an older Mini (with a TiVo Service Number starting with A92 or A93), your Mini must be connected with Ethernet or MoCA. Networking the TiVo Mini - If you have the newest Mini, the TiVo Mini VOX or Mini Lux, running the New TiVo Experience (which supports voice commands), then your Mini can be connected via ethernet, MoCA or WiFi (using a TiVo Mini Wireless adapter). Note: some older TiVos and TiVo OTA models cannot be used as MoCA Bridges. Then, your main TiVo will be set to be a "MoCA Bridge" (you'll see that option in the network settings), so that your coax around the house will carry both Internet and cable (or off-air). If you cannot run an Ethernet cable to your main TiVo, but you have cable (or off-air) coax and Ethernet in the same location (typically, near your router), then you can use a TiVo MoCA Bridge (see below) to combine Internet and coax to your TiVo. MoCA is a network signal that travels through coax. Ethernet is self-explanatory - just attach a CAT5 or better cable from the TiVo to your router, and make sure your Mini is on the same ethernet network. There are two options for hardwired connections: Ethernet and MoCA. Generally, TiVo strongly encourages a wired connection to the main TiVo when using a Mini. With a TiVo WiFi adapter, you could also connect the main TiVo using WiFi, although performance can suffer. Networking the Main TiVo - The main TiVo can be connected to a network via ethernet or MoCA. The TiVo Mini does support these streaming platforms.
