DirecTV TiVo systems do not contain any native support for networking. Its disappointing because the box itself has USB ports on it, however they are not active because DirecTV chose not to enable them when they licensed the technology from TiVo.

DVRupgrade has exclusively licensed and developed several technologies to enable these USB ports on almost all Series2 DirecTV TiVo DVR systems, and by doing so you can connect your unit to a home network and take advantage of several exciting capabilities.

Most notably, our PTVnet kits, combined with GoToMyDVR technology allows you to directly connect to your DVR from any location on the worldwide web and schedule recordings, manage content, and send messages to your family from abroad.
