Two options: You will need to hardwire the Tivo mini with an RJ-45 network cable connected to a router so it has connectivity to both the internet, and your main Tivo. The other, and better solution is to connect with Coax cable within the home, and set up the main Tivo to run a MoCa bridge (this will be found in Tivo Settings). This will send Tivo signals within the house through the coax so Tivo Mini's can see programming from the main Tivo. If you use the MoCa route, there will be almost no delay in bringing up Tivo programming. This second method will be your preferred method. The coax connections, can use the existing cable jacks that are already within the walls of your home. Not coax running across the room, unless you're missing an existing coax jack in your desired location.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you need to connect the Mini via network cable to your network, the same network that has the main TiVo Box for it to work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you need a Network cable. I thought it was wireless but it is not. You have to run a network cable to both the mini and the main Tivo romiao unit. The main unit has worked well but I have not hooked up the mini yet because it is going to be difficult to get a cable to it, which is why I bought it in first place so I wouldnt have to run a cable.
