HME Quick Start (for Hobbyists!)

The Quick Start let's you get a taste of HME running on your TiVo DVR.

Requirements

In order to use the Quick Start, you must:

  • own a Series2 TiVo DVR (not supported on DirecTV or Series 1 DVR)
  • have it connected to your home network
  • be running TiVo service update 7.1-X or higher. Your box will automatically receive this release through a scheduled rollout process. To get on the priority list for this upgrade, sign up here.
Also, your PC must:
  • have Java 1.4.2 (or later) installed
  • if you use Windows XP SP2, the Windows Firewall may prevent your DVR from talking to your PC. You must allow an exception for HME. See Understanding Windows Firewall for more details.
