Introduction to Home Media Features
This chapter shows you how to connect your Digital Media Server to a home network. 
Doing so gives you brand new ways to use your DMS as a digital home entertainment 
center. The following Home Media Features are available with TiVo Plus
TM
 service.
• Multi-Room Viewing – Record programs in the living room and watch them in the 
If you don’t have a home network, you can connect two Series2
TM
 DVRs to each other 
for Multi-Room Viewing. (Your Digital Media Server is also a Series2 DVR.) This 
setup is described in the Home Media Features guide, available online at 
www.tivo.com/guides.
• Digital Music Player – Use the home entertainment center in your living room to 
listen to the digital MP3 music collection stored on your computer. See page 114.
• Digital Photo Viewer – View slideshows of digital photos stored on your computer 
without huddling around a small computer monitor. See page 114.
These Home Media Features are included with TiVo
 
Plus service. Connecting your DMS 
to a home network allows you to enjoy them. For more information about using these 
features, download the Home Media Features Guide at www.tivo.com/guides.
Connect to the TiVo service via broadband.
 If your home network includes a broadband 
Internet connection (for example, DSL or a cable modem), your DMS can use that 
connection, instead of a phone line, for regular connections to the TiVo service. (The 
DMS will still need a standard phone line connection for Guided Setup.)
In addition, with an always-on Internet connection, you can use Online Scheduling (see 
page 100) for any program airing more than an hour after you request it. (If your DMS is 
using a phone line, processing an Online Scheduling request can take up to 36 hours.)
If you do not already have a home 
network and you want to learn how 
to create one, try going to a popular 
search engine like Google 
(www.google.com) or Yahoo 
(www.yahoo.com) and typing the phrase, 
“setting up a home network,” in the 
search field. You will obtain a number of 
search results (links) that supply 
guidance to help you set up your home 
network.
