NETWORK SETTINGS
TiVo boxes make regular connections to the TiVo service to receive updated show listings, 
service updates, and other information. You can connect to the TiVo service through a 
wired or wireless connection. When choosing your connection type, note that wireless 
connection speeds are typically not fast enough to stream shows reliably. If you want to use 
the BOLT to stream shows to/from other TiVo boxes or to your mobile devices, a wired 
Ethernet or MoCA connection is recommended.
The Network screen includes details about the last successful connection to the TiVo 
service and allows you to change your connection settings.
From the TiVo Central screen, select ‘Settings & Messages,’ then ‘Network Settings.’ The 
information displayed on the screen depends on how your DVR connects to the TiVo 
service.
Connect to the TiVo service now Normally, you don’t need to select this option — the TiVo 
BOLT connects to the TiVo service automatically every few hours. However, you may need 
to connect to the TiVo service as a routine troubleshooting step. Select this option to 
connect to the service. After you start the connection, the status of the connection is 
displayed. You can watch live TV, set up recordings, and search for shows while the 
connection is in progress.
