Can I externally access my Tivo on a home network?

Question

I'm away at college and I'm wondering if I can access my Tivo from my laptop without having to have someone upload the programs from within the network and then sending them to me, here.

Answer 1

You can buy a slingbox.  What it does is transmits the television signal through your account over the internet and you can access it anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection.  Then if you wanted to you could connect your computer to your TV and watch Tivo at your dorm.  You can purchase them online or my recommendation, Best buy.

Hi Joe,

You can access your TiVo and download the programs and then view them.

You can also program your TiVo over the Internet.

You will need the software called "TiVo To Go". You get it free from TiVo. Go here to learn about and get TiVo To Go - http://www.tivo.com/mytivo/domore/tivoto...
