Quick Start This quick start quide assumes your TiVo(R) is connected to your home network. This means you need a network cable or wireless TiVo adapter connected to your TiVo and configured properly. Please see your TiVo documentation for more information.
1) Connect to Wi-Fi The device running RCX must be connected to the same network as the TiVo®. Typically this means the device must be connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
2) Enable "Network Remote Control" Enable the "Network Remote Control" setting on the TiVo. Do this by navigating the TiVo menu to "Settings & Messages\Settings\Remote, Cable Card & Devices\Network Remote Control".
3) Add the TiVo network IP address to RCX Your TiVo network address must be added to RCX. To find the TiVo network IP address navigate the TiVo menu to "Settings & Messages\Settings\Network & Phone". The TiVo network IP address should be displayed. Tap the "gear" icon in RCX, choose "TiVo DVRs" then tap the "Add TiVo" button and enter the information requested. Alternatively you can choose "TiVo DVRs" and use the "Scan" button to try to automatically identify your TiVo's IP address.
Notes
- The TiVo web site accessed from the RCX menu can be changed in the options. This is particularly useful if you live outside the US.
- TV volume and input cannot be controlled by the TiVo itself and this app can't do it either. The TiVo remote uses infrared which nearly all android devices lack.

Excellent app - when you understand how to install it This applies to UK Virgin TiVo boxes. Worked fine until I had to re-install it and then I couldn't get it to work...until I realised you must have your router and Tivo box hard wired with an Ethernet cable before the Tivo box can identify the router's Ethernet connection and assign it an IP address. You do that through Settings, Network Connections, Change network settings, Let the TiVo box assign itself an IP address. You can then see the IP address that has been assigned to the Ethernet connection and enter that into the RCX app. Then it works just fine!

Great Remote App Does all that your remote does apart from the volume. 5 Star app
★★☆☆☆
Worked great, then I got a new device Old apk won't install on new device and new version is stuck on trackball. Old one had many features, new one is pita. You can pay $$ and maybe get what you had for years for free. 2.0.4 was five stars, this one is useless.

A good app but found many of the adds completely discusting and I wont be keeping the app as they ruined it and would not want my child to pick up the phone this app is on. You should warn people SOME ADDS CONTAIN ADULT THEMES plus the adds play constantly at the top of the app. Not happy with it at all.
★★☆☆☆
Tried various means to get it to work. Manually added the ip but still nothing worked. Useless! !!
