    Works great. I was a bit concerned at first that i would be losing some functionality since this is not a DVR. This box will connect to your roamio or bolt and stream from one of the tuners on that device.. Replaced an older Tivo series 3 that kept rebooting. Solid performance and much cheaper than buying another dvr.

    Awesome addition to our Tivo network. Extremely easy to install with ethernet cabling. Took a quick reboot once I had it setup to find the main Tivo, and everything is good from there. Just wish a had the Tivo Pro to have 6 tuners available, but can live with the Roamio's 4. Will be buying a couple more shortly to feed other rooms.

    The Mini Tivo is so awesome especially if you have a good WiFi signal. I have it hooked into my Orbi Satellite.

    First I want to say the I have been a tivo user since the very first one came out. The TiVo mini using a MOCA network connects to all three tivo in the house. Unfortunately if you're using the controller too fast the TiVo mini resets itself. The TiVo mini would be best used with tivo that have four to six recording channel capability because the TiVo mini will take up one of your channels to watch live television. It's a good way not to have to pay for an additional lifetime membership.

    Replacement for aging TiVo Series 3

    My TiVo Series 3 became obsolete when Comcast changed the way they deliver HD content. Since I already have a TiVo Premiere, I am able to connect the TiVo Mini to one of the available tuners to view live TV, and even play recorded shows right where I've paused them. Much less expensive than purchasing a new TiVo box!

    I bought 2 Tivo Mini's after learning they will work with my FIOS cable setup. This allowed me to return the 2 boxes I was paying over $20/month for. Once I had the Tivo Mini's on the moca network, and walked through and easy setup on each, they were up and running. Couldn't have asked for an easier setup!

    Very easy to setup. I setup my Tivo Bolt main DVR and configured what is called a MocA bridge in the settings so that the coax cable already setup in my house could easily connect to the main Tivo box and share all the recorded shows.

    This device is ONLY an extension of your Tivo Romio or any other compatible Tivo console. It doesn't work as a stand alone devise. Works perfectly and set up was very easy - non monthly charges - it helps to get reduce TV cost by getting rid of the monthly charges that Comcast charges for the extra boxes.

    We bought the TiVo Bolt and several minis so that we could stop paying for cable boxes. The minis work well. We can record in one room and watch the show in another room. And we can record several shows at once. The minis will pay for themselves in about 10 months. Since we removed the cable boxes.

    This device, once configured, works flawlessly as a second unit on the Tivo bolt system. Live TV, recorded TV, and apps all work just like you were using the Bolt locally. There are no additional fees and you can quickly save money vs. renting cable company receivers for multi rooms.

    Easy to install...Took 15 minutes and that was while I was having my morning coffee! Now I can record a program from my mancave while the wife watches O.W.N. (yuck). This TIVO mini is a good investment if you want independence from the main house TV...I am a happy caveman...:)
