I've got 3 TiVo Mini's working around the house without issues. These replaced 3 TiVo HD boxes. Works great for me.

I've used Tivo since they first came out with the DirecTV version, and their software is excellent. Using the MOCA connection, the Mini works seamlessly, and now they are no longer charging service fees so you can't go wrong with the Tivo Mini. One note: when first installing, after powering up the Mini, you may need to restart your Tivo DVRs as well (not documented in the instructions, but this solved an iniital connection error I was having).

Worked great for streaming services not as good for live and recorded TV. Took it back because it was too much for what you can do with a basic streaming box.

We recently cut the cord and now we have all of our program sources in one place, with the same interface in both the Living Room and our Bedroom.

Product works great but add it to your tivo account a day or 2 before physically setting up so it will sync with tivo correctly.

Cool Tivo add on

Cool box to add tivo to additional rooms. I like that I own it, and don't have to pay extra per month to rent it from the cable company. Setup wasn't to hard, but did have to check the internet when it didn't connect to the main tivo box the first time. Also, I used the ehternet connection which works well. the MoCA connection option would have been great, but would have added a lot to the cost of the box.

Won't work with all TiVo devices

I think the product would be great if I had the model of Roamio main DVR to run it. Although it says it will work with all Roamio devices, you don't find out until you try to install that not all Roamio devices have MoCA. Unless you have a direct connect to Ethernet (not via power line adapter) or a main DVR device with MoCA, you will need to purchase a bridge (1 or 2) at $89 each. Wasn't worth it. Returned device.

Love the idea of accessing another TiVo to share programs and not have to pay another subscription fee.
Nightmare to get it up and running. First, both the Mini and the source DVR have to be on Ethernet. Nowhere on the web or Best Buy did it say the Mini had to be on Ethernet. Despite my direct question.
Once installed, had more trouble. Called support line which has been moved offshore. 4 calls and a lot of frustration later, we were finally able to get it up and running.

The Perfect TiVo Companion

Works exactly as advertised. Nice and small so you can stick behind the tv or dresser. The RF remote means you don't have to be line of site, so it can be completely out of sight. Honestly can't really tell you are running everything remote, only clue is there is a very slight delay when starting live TV. Only complaint is the ethernet lights are BRIGHT, would be nice to have a software option to turn them off.

I tried to use this with my Tivo Bolt. I'm a tech guy so setting this up is usually not hard for me at all. This was pretty difficult as what was given in the instructions was not happening. It took going back and forth and reading posts online and waiting a day or two to finally get it paired to my Tivo Bolt. And even then there was a significant lag. It didn't work well. I returned it.
