We want you to get the most from your new TiVo® service, so take a minute and review the following steps to make sure your TiVo DVR is properly connected to your network.

We suggest you bookmark this page for future troubleshooting tips.

1. Get a Network Adapter
	Each TiVo Series2™ DVR needs a USB network adapter to connect to your network. The Series2 DT DVR, TiVo HD and Series3™ HD DVR come standard with an Ethernet port for wired networking—a USB network adapter is only required for wireless networking. Want recommendations for both wired and wireless adapters? Check out our list of compatible adapters.

2. Connect Your TiVo DVR(s) to Your Network
	Connect a network adapter to your DVR if necessary, then connect your DVR to your home network. For detailed instructions, see the Home Media Features guide, or check the online support article How Do I Connect a DVR to Another DVR or a Network?

Having a broadband connected TiVo DVR lets you take advantage of a number of TiVo features, including TiVoToGo™ transfers, Remote Scheduling, Amazon Unbox™ on TiVo service, and Multi-Room Viewing. Enjoy them all:

1. Download TiVo Desktop
	TiVo Desktop (for Windows or Mac) is an easy-to-use application that lets you publish and share digital music, photos and TiVo recordings between your networked TiVo Series2 DVR and your computer.
