TiVo Mini

Works fabulous as long as you have the correct MoCA enabling hardware in place. When I installed my first Mini, it caused a lot of interference on my home network. My internet was dragged down to a crawl. I pay for the super boost internet service from Comcast and it would take minutes for web pages to load. My TIVO DVR box (at least once) told me that my internet was too slow for it to operate. The stream from the Tivo Mini would freeze periodically. I really wanted the Tivo Mini to work so I could take my box back to Comcast and stop paying $10+ a month for it. People kept talking about the MoCA POE filter on helping on the Amazon.com reviews of the Mini so I had already proactively installed that before I hooked up my first Mini. I went to online forums to see if anyone else had this problem. It appeared that this was not an uncommon problem. So, what did work (as recommended on the online TIVO forums) was installing a Broadband RF 8 output MoCA capable 5-1200MHZ Splitter to that MoCA POE filter which is attached to the cable coming in from outside thereby hooking up all 6 of my cable lines that branched around the house. So the final hookup is: source cable from outside of the house - MoCA POE Filter - Broadband RF 8-output MoCA capable 5 - 1200 MHZ splitter - cables to rest of the house. Previously I had a 5 - 1000 MHZ Splitter. Who would have thought that the extra 200 MHZ would have made all the difference in the world! There may be something else different about the new splitter but I don't know enough about the old splitter to know what that is. I now have my blazing fast internet speed back!!!!!!! I can now get rid of my Comcast boxes and quit paying rent for them. Unfortunately I couldn't find this 8-outlet splitter on Amazon.com, I had to buy it from EBAY.Regarding the Mini, it truly has all the capability of the Tivo Roamio DVR box. It provides a TV guide, access to all my recorded shows and I believe Comcast On Demand but I haven't tried that feature on the TV with the Mini yet. Now I can install my second Mini and buy a few more! Tivo has a special until Jan 3 2015 where all Minis will be permitted to operate under the one monthly fee required for the DVR box.Update Dec 3 2014: The installation of my second Mini was rocky. I had a second splitter in the room with the modem and router where I wanted to install the 2nd Mini. I had split the incoming coax cable (into the room for this review update - I have already discussed my adventures with the splitter on the cable coming into the house above) so that it went both to the modem and to another TV. The splitter that was there (that I installed a few years ago) was a RCA DH24SP 2-way 5 -2400 MHz splitter. That 5- 2400 MHz splitter caused a lot of interference to my internet speed and would not allow the second Mini to initialize. So, I purchased from Amazon.com - Splitter, Broadband RF 2 output MoCA capable 5 - 1002 MHz. That worked. My internet is running smoothly and fast again and my second Tivo Mini initialized and is running fine. The Tivo people really should make a bigger deal about the splitters their customers have to have in their houses before installing a Tivo Mini! Splitters are cheap so Tivo should recommend specific new splitters for their customers to buy on the Tivo web page on Amazon.com as well as on the Tivo.com webpage!
