USB hub support on TiVo boxes

Print this page


TiVo Series3 and Premiere boxes support the following USB devices:

  • Tuning Adapter for Switched Digital Video
  • TiVo Wireless G adapter for wireless broadband connection to the TiVo service
  • TiVo Phone adapter for phone connection to the TiVo service (Premiere/XL boxes only)
  • TiVo Slide remote Bluetooth receiver

These boxes have 2 USB ports. To install additional USB devices, you will need a USB hub with an independent A/C power source is required. (The power from the USB bus alone is not strong enough to operate these devices reliably.)

Premiere - compatible hubs

While most 1.0 or 2.0 USB hubs will work with Premiere boxes, the following USB hub models have been tested with the boxes.

Manufacturer Model
Belkin FSU234v1
iConnect 1806
DLink DUB-H4
Macally TRIHUB4 USB 2.0

TiVo Series3 compatible hub

The following is the ONLY USB hub supported for use with Series3 boxes.

Manufacturer Model
BELKIN F5U021vSN USB 1.1 4-Port Hub

IMPORTANT: For consistent wireless connection and better network performance on these boxes, make sure you plug a TiVo Wireless G adapter into the USB port on the TiVo box, NOT into a port on the hub.

Series2/Series2 DT

Series2 and Series2 DT boxes do not support USB hubs. Since the TiVo Wireless G adapter is the only USB device supported on these boxes, however, a USB hub is not necessary.
