Take your favorite shows wherever you go

If you have a TiVo Premiere DVR, you already know how smart and user-friendly their service is. The TiVo Stream expands the TiVo experience in a big way by letting you stream programs to mobile devices in your home, or wirelessly transfer shows to your portable and bring them along for viewing later. The Stream helps you get more out of your TiVo subscription without any additional monthly charges.

Back of TiVo Stream showing Ethernet jack

The TiVo Stream has just two connections — an AC power jack and an Ethernet port for connecting to your network router.

Take your favorite shows wherever you go

Here's how it works: You run an Ethernet cable from the TiVo Stream to your network router — and you need to have a wired connection between your TiVo DVR and your router, as well. With those connections in place you can then wirelessly stream live or recorded TV programs from your TiVo DVR to as many as four Apple iOS® devices. Just download the free TiVo app from the App Store and start watching your favorite shows on your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch®.

Here's something even more exciting: the Stream lets you wirelessly download recorded shows straight to your tablet or smartphone for viewing later. You can transfer a 1-hour high-def show in as little as 15 minutes. It's a great way to catch up on your favorite series when you're on the road.

Features

Overview: The TiVo Stream adds flexibility to your TiVo experience. The TiVo Stream is a device you add to your home network that enables you to stream or download recordings from your Premiere series DVR to your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch while on your local network. The TiVo Stream lets you stream up to four recorded shows simultaneously to four mobile devices in your home (multiple Premier DVRs may be needed). The TiVo Stream also lets you download shows to your compatible Apple device for viewing on the go. Here is what you'll need (minimum requirements):

At least one TiVo Premier series DVR (running software version 20.2.1 or later) connected to your home network via Ethernet; will not work with a wireless connection.
Active TiVo Premier subscription (the TiVo Stream requires no additional monthly fee).
Wireless router for connecting your mobile Apple device.
At least one iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad running iOS 5.1 or later (will not work with unauthorized modifications to the iOS).
Free TiVo App downloaded on your compatible iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad.

Note: At this time, the TiVo Stream does not support Android and other mobile devices.

TiVo App: To stream or download shows from your TiVo Premiere series DVR, you'll need the latest version of the TiVo App on your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad (all running iOS 5.1 or later). If you don't already have the TiVo App, download it from the App Store and install it on your device. If you already have the TiVo App, make sure it's up to date (with no updates pending).

Watching Recorded TV: The TiVo Stream lets you watch currently or previously recorded programs from your TiVo Premier series DVR on your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad (running iOS 5.1 or later). One TiVo Premiere series DVR is capable of streaming up to three recorded shows at once to three separate Apple devices. Two TiVo Premiere series DVRs are required to stream four recorded shows simultaneously to four separate Apple devices. In addition to streaming inside the home, with TiVo Stream you can also download recordings to your iOS device in the home so that you can take them with you on the go. You can stream any TiVo recording within the home; including regular and premium content. You can transfer a 1 hour show in as little as 15 minutes. Some programs, such as premium content, may be marked as "copy once" and therefore cannot be downloaded to the mobile device.

Note: Not all programs may be transferred using the TiVo Stream due to the use of copy protection mechanisms permitted under the FCC's encoding rules. Some shows cannot be transferred due to the copy protection assigned to them by the program provider. The ability to stream multiple shows is dependent on factors including bit rate, resolution, screen size and available bandwidth.

Ethernet Connection: The TiVo Stream is fitted with a rear-panel Ethernet (RJ-45) port and comes with a 41" Ethernet cable to connect to your home network's modem/router. The unit does not offer a wireless connection.
