Step by step: How to connect your DVR to the Internet or add recording capacity.

We make it easy to connect and expand your TiVo DVR.

TiVo^® wireless adapter
Attach a TiVo wireless adapter and connect your TiVo DVR to your wireless home network and high-speed Internet connection to get all the benefits of movie downloads, music, photos, and more.

You can easily connect your TiVo DVR to your 802.11g or 802.11b wireless home network. Simply plug the adapter into the USB port* on the back of your TiVo DVR. If your home network connects to the Internet, your TiVo DVR will now have access to the TiVo broadband features. When your TiVo DVR is broadband-connected, you do not need to use the phone line connection. See product details.

My DVR Expander
Increase the recording capacity of your TiVo HD or TiVo Series3™ with the My DVR Expander, so you have plenty of room for all your favorite shows. An external hard disk that attaches to your TiVo HD DVR or TiVo Series3 DVR, the Western Digital My DVR Expander provides space to record up to 65 additional hours of high-definition shows (or 600 hours of standard-definition shows) at one time.
