User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆Will not replace lost remote
Please note you have to have a remote to set the TiVo to work with this app. You have been warned. If you have a remote it might work but I could not get that far.
★★★★★Great way to save on used TiVo devices
I was looking to cut-the-cord and use TiVo as an Over-the-Air DVR. I have a Lifetime License and thought it would be
Smart to pick up some cheap Bolt and Mini units that were super-low priced because they did not have a remote.
This TiVo Remote app immediately searched my network and found two models of TiVo and a Mini. Because the Mini was not listed in the app description as a supported device I tested it first and the app and I worked perfectly.
The app shows the TiVo devices by IP Address
★★★★★Still works fine in 2025
If you’re the rare individual that still uses a TiVo DVR, then you should know this app still works well as of 10/8/25. I’ve been using it on Apple Watch to control my Roamio OTA. It does seem to be slightly slow, at least via Apple Watch. It can take up to 2 seconds for the TiVo to react after pressing a button, but it always responds so be patient. Also it does NOT seem to be able to control a TiVo mini. Those are the only two issues I noticed.
★★☆☆☆TVO Remote doesn’t work with TiVo Mini
I bought this to use with the Mini in the bedroom, but it doesn’t 😢. Is there something I need to do to make it access the Mini and not the main box?
★★☆☆☆Support?
How do I contact support for this App? It works fine but I don’t see a power on/off or volume button. How can it be a replacement remote if these are missing? I will be happy to change my review/rating if I am missing something . Please respond. Thank you !
