Connection Options

The TiVo Bolt needs a high-speed Internet
connection to receive program listings,
TiVo® service updates, and streaming
content. The type of network connection
you choose will depend on what you want
to do with your TiVo box(es).

But don’t worry, no matter which one you
pick, you can always change your mind
later.

If you plan to stream shows from this
TiVo box to other TiVo boxes, you
must use a wired connection: Ethernet
(Option 2) or MoCA (Option 3).

Get the same TiVo experience that you enjoy in your living room, in
every room! Mini lets you access all of your recordings plus
streaming content on additional TVs. And the TiVo app gives you
your shows to go.
