MoCA Setup and Info

I know I need to create a MoCA network

To setup your MoCA: 
 

• Use a TiVo Bridge to create a MoCA network
• Use a TiVo DVR to create a MoCA network

I already have a MoCA network (or I'm not sure)

To set your MoCA network, just choose of the following: 
 

• Connect your TiVo device to an existing MoCA network
• Connect your TiVo device with a tuning adapter to an existing MoCA network

Hookup (at modem/router)

The TiVo Bridge has:    Inbound coax port coming from the coax outlet Ethernet cable (blue line) which goes to a router, into a splitter and back to the coax outlet     TiVo Bridge Plus has an:    Inbound coax port coming from the coax outlet Ethernet cable (blue line) which goes to a router, into a splitter and back to the coax outlet Outbound coax going to the modem.

Other people makes use of MoCA adapter for example Actiontec:
Actiontec Ethernet-over-Coax Bridges (ECB)
 

• ECB is also used to connect to the MoCA network.
• It has two coaxial outlets

1. In - connects to the coaxial outlet
2. Out - connects to the UES/DVR

Note: If you have an Ethernet jack in the wall, there's a good chance you have an Ethernet switch or hub in your setup. If so, you may want to try connecting your TiVo directly to the router to determine if there is a problem with the network infrastructure.
 

Setup for: 

• 2-Tuner TiVo Premiere
• 4-Tuner TiVo Roamio

Note: Use two two-way splitters (one is included with the TiVo Bridge)

or use a three-way splitter to eliminate some cords:
 

• TiVo BOLT 500 GB
• TiVo BOLT 1000 GB
• TiVo BOLT+

1. Remove the coaxial cable from the TiVo device
2. Attach the coax cable from the wall to a coax splitter
3. From the coax splitter, connect one coax cable to the tuning adapter, and one to the TiVo device
4. Connect the USB cable from the tuning adapter to the TiVo device. Note: TiVo BOLT users: always connect the USB cable to the USB port.
5. Plug in the tuning adapter power cable
