TiVo Mini. Small box. But, like all things TiVo, it comes with a list of caveats. One of the nicest things about the Mini is that getting it up and running is simple and doesn't require any calls to a cable provider. Power is handled by a fairly small wall wart, and HDMI is used for AV component and composite connections are available, too, but require a breakout cable with a 3.

You could also use a power line adapter , but, again, MoCA is preferable since it gives you a fatter pipe to meet the high-bandwidth requirements for streaming live TV. Wireless is not an option for live TV or anything else. The Mini is controlled with a standard TiVo peanut remote that is included with the box. There are mounting holes on the bottom, so it can easily be attached to a wall. If you're looking to extend your TiVo experience into a bedroom or other space where you don't want a large DVR, the Mini is a way to do that.

Then, you point it to the one you want to attach to. Each DVR can support up to 10 Mini boxes at a time. However, for each Mini, you have to surrender a tuner on the host DVR for watching live TV, which means you lose it for recording. Again, the Mini isn't a DVR, so it doesn't have its own storage. But, it sort of eliminates the need for multiple DVRs since it can control a tuner for watching live TV and setting things to record. You also have full access to your recorded programs, so you can start watching something in one room and then finish it in another.

All without paying any fees to your cable provider for additional services or equipment like a CableCard. This Bonded MoCA 2. The result is a blazing fast wired backbone that enhances the connected home experience and supplements an existing Wi-Fi network with high-speed wired connection points. Not sure if you need one?
