“Can you use this with older TV's? Some of my older TV's do not have HDMI connecting capability. Can you use the mini on older devices that still only have RCA connections?”

• I believe the answer is yes. You'd need to purchase a special set of accessory cables from either Tivo or Weaknees. On Tivo the cables are referred to as the A/V Breakout Cable Kit. There is a single connector (looks like a 3.5 MM connector but it's not) that plugs into the Tivo Mini, then the other ends allow you to connect with either composite (red, white, yellow) and/or component plugs (red/green/blue),

• It only has an HDMI output. Perhaps an adapter would work from HDMI to RCA?

• No, you can also use component or moCa, which is essentially the round cable jack but all tivos must be connected this way. Also a wired Ethernet connection is required because there is no wireless option.

• The TiVo mini does have connectors labeled "Component" and "A/V". The connectors are quite small. You'd need an adapter cable.

• Yes, but you have to order a connection kit from Tivo, or pick it up off amazon. There is a component version and composite version.

• Have not tried it myself, but Tivo offers a separate output cable for the lower formats. https://www.tivo.com/shop/detail/av-cable But you are on your own as to whether it works. I suspect it will, but I do not know. Of course you still have to have an internet or MOCA connection and another qualifying Tivo in the house.
