Retail TiVo Compatibility

 

Introduction

 

  • Retail TiVo compatibility

    • Retail TiVos are compatible if they can take our CableCARD.  On retail units, 

      • On Demand (VOD) not available

      • Ordering PPV through your remote not available

 

Resolution Steps

 

  • Networking Retail TiVos and TiVos provided by our company (on MoCA)
     
    • Retail Premiere, Roamio, Bolt, and Edge models can network with all of our TiVos within a MoCA network*

       
  • Mini compatibility
     
    • Retail minis can work with our company TiVos - however, customers must also have a retail TiVo DVR in the home
       
      • In CA, OR and WA our devices are not compatible with retail devices


      •  
    • Minis provided by our company are not offered as stand alone; they must be installed with a whole home solution  

       
  • Single Tuner compatibility:
     
    • Retail Premiere, Roamio and Bolt models can network with Single Tuner TiVos provided by our company within a MoCA network*

       
  • Stream compatibility:
     
    • Retail streams will work with our equipment within a MoCA network*
       
    • 4 tuner TiVos are recommended. 2 tuners are also compatible* but since a Stream needs a tuner from the DVR, this severely limits your device

 

 

*Please note:

  • Some of these devices may not recognize MoCA signals and may need an ECB (MoCA bridge) for compatibility. We do not supply these for retail equipment.
     
  • All TiVo devices (including retail ) must be registered through our company to work with each other. Speak to one of our representatives for help
