Do just about everything you can with your TiVo^® remote control — find and watch shows, schedule recordings, control live TV and recorded shows, and more — from your iPad^® or iPhone^®! And when you have a TiVo, you can also watch recorded shows or in-progress recordings wherever you are...even away from home! To top it all off, the TiVo app gives you access to streaming content from all across the web. Just download the TiVo app, and you're ready to get started.

Before you can use the TiVo app, you'll need to do the following:

1. Make sure your iPad or iPhone is running the latest iOS software (at least iOS 7.0).
2. Download the latest TiVo app from the iTunes App Store. It's free! If you already have the app, make sure you are running the latest version, with no updates pending. (Note: The TiVo app will not run on jailbroken iOS devices.)
3. Make sure you have a compatible TiVo box connected to your home network.
4. If you want to stream or download recordings to your iPad or iPhone, make sure that you have a TiVo connected to your home network.
5. Make sure your iPad/iPhone has Wi-Fi turned on, and that it is connected to the same network as your TiVo box.

The first time you launch your TiVo app, you'll go through a one-time set-up process.It only takes a minute.

1. Launch the TiVo app.
2. Sign in to the app using your TiVo.com username and password.
3. If prompted, select the primary TiVo box to use with the app. (You will only be prompted if you have more than one compatible box on your home network.) You can always switch to a different TiVo box later.
4. If you have a TiVo and this is the first time you are setting up the app, streaming setup will begin. If you have just upgraded the app, start streaming setup by going to 'Settings' and choosing 'Setup.'
5. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up in-home and out-of-home streaming. 
   1. In home streaming means that you can stream recordings to your iPad/iPhone only when you are connected to your home network.
   2. Out-of-home streaming means that you can stream recordings to your iPad/iPhone even when you are away from your home network.
