5.0 out of 5 starsA Good Way to Extend the Reach of TiVo
May 22, 2019
These are basically 'satellite' TiVo units, which 'talk' to the main unit in my home. The main unit is the one where you can select the channels you wish to have on your lineup (and those you don't). I have both the VOX and the basic mini, and they operate basically the same. But the VOX remote is a small bit different from the remote that comes with the non-VOX Mini. Buttons are, for the most part, located in the same places on each.

2.0 out of 5 starsTiVo OTA reception much worse than TV reception
January 16, 2019
For the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS) I was getting signal levels from 67-95% with my antenna on the TV directly. However with the Tivo, CBS was only 37% and frequently unwatchable, so I had to return. All channels were on average 25% weaker with the Tivo OTA tuner. Found posts on the TivoCommunity.com forum from many with same issue, and that after the series 3, the OTA reception went down hill due to several factors, including that multi tuner has to split the signal 4 ways. Weaknees recommended antenna amp, which I tried, and made no difference. Disappointed that the Tivo tuner hardware is not as good as the tuner in my 10 year old Panasonic plasma.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks well in the end.

Capacity: ExtenderStyle: Extend DVRVerified Purchase
At first I had trouble getting this thing to work. It could not seem to find the Bolt. I got on Tivo chat help and, after trying 2-3 things the agent sent a signal to the mini and then it worked. I was so relieved that I didn't ask why he didn't do that in the first place! The next day I couldn't wake up the mini. I don't know if the problem was with the mini or with me, but I got on chat help again and eventually we got it going. I am a big fan of chat help. They are very down-to-earth and helpful. Also, eventually, I figured out that if you have had the TV in TV mode with the TV remote the last time it was on, you may have to change source/input in order to operate the mini.
I haven't tried the voice recognition yet.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Product, but Somewhat Hard to Set Up.
November 8, 2019
Capacity: ExtenderStyle: Extend DVRVerified Purchase
This is the perfect replacement Mini for my system. My original mini quit without warning. It might have been fried in a power surge. We had some fierce storms. I hooked it up to my system as the original had been connected. All was well until it would not proceed through the setup. With the lack of instructions about how to proceed, I just had to guess about what to do. Fortunately, I am somewhat tech savvy, so I just fumbled around until I got it paired up with the base TIVO. It would have been nice to have some directions included with the purchase. All is working very well now.

Works just like it advertised. I loved the TiVo so much I had to extend it to the living room.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest product for TV and media viewing

Capacity: ExtenderStyle: Extend DVRVerified Purchase
We have been Tivo users for many years. Most cable providers want $2-10 per month for digital cable interfaces. You can buy this box for $150 and connect it to a regular Tivo. It will pay for itself in 15 months and you never have to pay that cable fee again! They are a dream to use!

This TiVo Mini replaces one that was recently damaged in a lightning strike. It was easy to set up and, as usual, works flawlessly with my system. Delivery was speedy, too. Thanks!

The Tivo mini is a good product, but the installation process is way too complicated for non professionals. This typical of all Tivo products. I have been a user for many years.
