“Can the Mini access more than one TiVo, or is it tied to just one unit? If so, do you choose which one in the menu? I have 4 boxes, 2 Romios and 2 Bolts, and I'd like to be able to access all of them on one TV through the Mini.”

Yes I believe so. I have a premier and a Roamio, and they both work. It's a little work getting the systems to recognize the mini, but I called Tivo and they walked me thru it. It works good. The mini gives you the option on which box you want to watch or you can go to live TV. It's exactly what I needed, but it is on the larger side. It's not as small as the picture makes it out, this is the only draw back.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can use a mini to watch content from nay of these units. You set the Mini to look at the primary DVR you wish to see content from and this content shows up in your my shows menu. While in that menu you can choose devices and select any of the other units.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe that different minis could access different TiVo's ?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My understanding from research and documentation that you must have one mini unit for each set. This was a complaint from some customers that you needed a dedicated unit for each tv.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Although the Mini can "borrow" a tuner from ANY of the Roamios or Bolts, it must be set up to do this semi-permanently on one box at a time. Sure, you can go back into set-up and change to a different box, but that is not practical. Once linked to a particular box, though, you can access any other box on the network, i.e. your other three, and watch/stream shows recorded or recording on those boxes.
