Can I Use MoCA to Connect My Older TiVo to My MoCA Network?

Are you looking for ways to connect your older TiVo device to your MoCA network? With MoCA enabled in your home, devices can connect to your home network using MoCA, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi. But what about older TiVo models like Series3 and Series2?

The good news is that yes, you can use MoCA to connect your older TiVo to your MoCA network. However, there are some important considerations to keep in mind.

Firstly, if you're using a TiVo BOLT with MoCA and you have an antenna connected to your home's coax network, you MUST also install a 70 dB POE filter (available in the TiVo store). This is because MoCA connects your home network to your coax cable, which means it is possible for the MoCA signal to carry your network signal out of your home (and out of an antenna, if you have one!).

Another important consideration is that some DVRs may connect via MoCA, while others connect via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. This is because different devices may use different connection methods depending on their capabilities.

So how do you secure your MoCA network and improve its performance? The answer lies in installing a Point-of-Entry (POE) filter. This will prevent signal conflicts with other MoCA networks and improve your MoCA network's performance.

But what about common questions like 'How can I set up or join a MoCA network?' or 'What is the best way to enjoy Tru MultiRoom on my TiVo device?' The answer lies in using a wired Ethernet or MoCA connection. This will ensure a fast enough network connection for streaming, and you'll be able to watch recorded shows instantly on another TiVo BOLT, Roamio, or Premiere DVR in your home network.

In conclusion, while older TiVo models like Series3 and Series2 can connect to your MoCA network using MoCA, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. By installing a POE filter and using a wired Ethernet or MoCA connection, you'll be able to enjoy fast and reliable streaming on all of your devices.
