Connecting your DVR to a home network opens up a whole new world of digital home 
entertainment. If you already have a home network, you’re ready to get started.

Connect your DVR to your home network.

•  Wired (Ethernet) Networks: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the TiVo DVR to your 

home network using its built-in Ethernet jack (as shown on the Start Here poster).

•  Wireless Networks: Get a USB network adapter for your DVR. 

 for a list of compatible adapters. Connect the adapter to 

one of the TiVo DVR’s USB ports as shown on the Start Here poster.

The next time you press the TiVo button, you should see a message informing you that the 
DVR has detected a network connection.

If the message includes the option Set Up Network, select it. See “Network Settings” on 
page 61 if you need help. If the Set Up Network option does not appear in the message, the 
DVR was able to configure your network settings automatically.
