TiVo Series2 Supplementary Manual

Click the Access Control tab to see a list of all the DVRs on your home 
network. You can allow all DVRs in the list access to the music and photos 
on your PC by clicking the radio button marked “Allow any TiVo Series2 
DVR to access media files.“ This option is selected by default.

To share music and photos with only certain DVRs, click the radio button 
marked “Only allow the selected TiVo Series2 DVRs to access media files.” 
In the list below, place a checkmark in the box next to each DVR that should 
have access to your music and photos.

You may wish to pause or exit the TiVo Server if you need all your PC’s 
resources for a difficult task. Pausing or exiting the TiVo Server means that 
no TiVo Series2 DVR has access to media files on your PC. When you are 
finished working on the PC, you may wish to resume or restart the server. 
Resuming or restarting the server gives TiVo Series2 DVRs access to media 
files on your PC, according to the preferences you choose in “Access 
Control” on page 40.

Pausing the TiVo Server is almost never necessary, but may improve 
performance if you are doing several other things at once on the computer.

To pause the TiVo Server:

1. Open TiVo Publisher.

2. Select Server > Pause.

To resume the TiVo Server:

1. Open TiVo Publisher.

2. Select Server > Start / Resume.

If you are doing complex work on the computer, and pausing the TiVo 
Server does not improve the performance sufficiently, you can exit the TiVo 
Server instead of pausing it.

To Exit the TiVo Server:

1. Open TiVo Publisher.

2. Select Server > TiVo Server Properties.

3. Under the Configuration tab, click Exit.

To Start the TiVo Server:

1. Open TiVo Publisher.

2. Select Server > Start / Resume.
