You are correct that you would need one Bolt and 3 minis. They all need to be connected via Ethernet to your network router or switch. (they don't wire directly to one another) No WiFi for the minis, and TiVo says the main box shouldn't be on WiFi either when trying to have mini's in the mix. The other option is through your coax cable using a MOCA network. The ethernet works for me so I didn't do much work researching the MOCA network. Be aware, TiVo isn't kidding when they say it may take 24 hours before your minis can communicate with your main TiVo box. When I first activated my mini it wouldn't see my TiVo Bolt, but when I tried again at the 24 hour mark, boom, no issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is an app in development for amazon fire tv to interface with the tivo instead of needing the minis. It is supposed to be available later this year
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My son-in-law installed my Bolt OTA. It is connected to my WiFi. He also installed an antenna with boosters as I have a tree that occasionally interferes with reception. I could ask him about the Vox minis. I really don’t know that information.
