Availability: RF Signal

TiVos 6 Tuners, Minis eBoxes, and IPTV boxes are compatible with RF (Radio Frequency) signals
  • When paired with RF signal, Many of our remotes let you control your TiVo around corners and through walls 
     
  • All other TiVo boxes only use IR (Infa-Red) technology
 

TiVo Slide Remote

  • TiVo Slide Remote uses Bluetooth technology via a USB dongle connection in the back of the TiVo
  • Important: this is an unsupported, retail TiVo device
 

IR Adapter / Extender

  • IR Adapter / Extender connects via USB cord in the back of the TiVo
  • The IR receiver end should be in line of sight of the remote to work
  • Important - this is a retail TiVo device not supported by our company
 

Using the TiVo App

  • Download the free TiVo App for Android or iOS to use that as a TiVo remote   
     
  • The TiVo App works on the network connection in the house, so no RF or IR transmission is used
     
  • Only TiVo controls work through the TiVo App, use your TV remote for TV Power, Volume, etc. 

Some TiVo devices and remotes can use RF signals to work through walls and around corners, while others require a direct line of sight, and you can also control your TiVo with the TiVo app over your home network.
