TiVo Series2 Supplementary Manual

If you want your music and photos to be available whenever your PC is 
running, you should check the “Start the TiVo Server when I log on to 
Windows” box. If this box is not checked, then logging on to Windows will 
not start the TiVo Server, and music and photos on your PC will not be 
available to your TiVo Series2 DVR until you start the TiVo Server by hand.

The Computer Name field shows how your computer is identified in the 
Music & Photos screen on the TiVo Series2 DVR. If you have more than one 
computer on your home network, choosing a descriptive name for each can 
help you find the correct music and photos from your DVR. You can change 
the name of your computer using your computer’s operating system. See 
your computer’s help menus for information on how to do this.

The IP Address field shows the IP address of your PC. If your TiVo Series2 
DVR has trouble seeing the computer, you’ll need this IP address for 
troubleshooting. The Select button lets you choose an IP address if your 
computer has more than one (if running VPN, for example, or if you have 
multiple network adapters or devices like web cams).

Use the Performance tab to optimize the performance of TiVo Server. 

In general, the more resources the PC dedicates to TiVo Server, the faster 
the Music & Photos feature operates. However, devoting too many 
resources to TiVo Server may slow down other tasks on the PC.
