another individual, the seller will be able to schedule recordings to the
TiVo DVR until you contact TiVo and have the TiVo service
subscription for the TiVo DVR transferred to your own account.
3.2 Graphical Elements. From time to time, your TiVo DVR may cause
graphics and/or text to be superimposed over commercial
advertisements or present you with other advertising viewing options.
For example, graphic “tags” may permit you to press the Thumbs Up
button to (i) schedule a recording of an advertised program; (ii) view
special video clips or other information about the advertised product or
service; and/or (iii) perform some other action. Any such tags are
placed on top of the commercial advertisements by TiVo or its licensees
on behalf of the advertiser and not at the direction of any other party.
3.3 Network-Enabled TiVo Service Features (includes Home Media
and TiVoToGo™ features).
You must have a network-enabled TiVo
DVR to use any network-enabled TiVo service features such as Home
Media (including Multi-Room Viewing (see Section 3.3.1 below),
access to PC-Based Media (see Section 3.3.2 below)), and TiVoToGo
feature (see Section 3.3.3 below). A network-enabled TiVo DVR has an
established network connection through the TiVo DVR's built-in USB
port (including a wired (Ethernet) or wireless USB network adapter); is
running a TiVo software version that supports home networking; and
has an active subscription to the TiVo service. Some network-enabled
TiVo service features require installation of the then-current TiVo
Desktop application (www.tivo.com/desktop
) on a home computer that
is connected to the same home network as your TiVo DVR. Some TiVo
service features require a broadband connection to the Internet through
the home network. The Multi-Room Viewing feature requires two
network-enabled TiVo DVRs that are enabled for Multi-Room
Viewing. The TiVoToGo feature requires a TiVo DVR that is running a
TiVo software version that supports that feature.
Not all TiVo DVRs are able to use network-enabled features. Moreover,
even among TiVo's network-enabled DVRs, the Multi-Room Viewing
feature may not permit particular TiVo DVRs to transfer content among
one another due to compatibility issues among manufacturers or copy
protection mechanisms used by copyright owners, studios or
broadcasters. In addition, the TiVoToGo feature may not permit
particular TiVo DVRs to transfer content to home computers for the
same reasons. Please visit our TiVo Home Media Features FAQs at
www.tivo.com/mediafaq
for details.
The Multi-Room Viewing and TiVoToGo features are also turned on by
default when you subscribe to the TiVo service. You may turn these
features off using Manage My Account at www.tivo.com/manage
.
3.3.1Multi-Room Viewing Feature. You must have at least two (2) TiVo
network-enabled DVRs each with a TiVo service subscription to take
advantage of the Multi-Room Viewing feature. The Multi-Room
Viewing feature is intended solely to enable the transfer of content
among TiVo DVRs within a single household. Using the Multi-Room
Viewing feature, you may transfer content only among TiVo DVRs on
the same TiVo account and only among TiVo DVRs on the same
network subnet. For example, if one TiVo DVR in your home resides
on your network at 192.168.1.5, any TiVo DVR used for Multi-Room
Viewing must reside on that same network, having an IP address of
192.168.1.x. Any TiVo DVR that resides on a different network, such
as a TiVo DVR with an IP address of 192.168.2.5, is not permitted to
participate in Multi-Room Viewing.
In addition, you may only transfer content among ten (10) TiVo DVRs
on a single TiVo account within your household. Unauthorized
transfers or distribution of copyrighted works outside of your home may
constitute an infringement of the rights of copyright holders. TiVo
reserves the right to terminate the TiVo service accounts of users who
