Review on πŸ“Ί TiVo Mini LUX DVR Extender: Enhance Your TiVo Experience with Seamless Expansion by Michael Lucas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Tivo LUX extended the life of my Tivo Bolt (2016) by another 3-5 years

With MOCA connection and over 600Mbps between LUX and Tivo Bolt which is twice as fast as the old Tivo Mini devices (92000 and 93000)! I've used both old versions of Tivo Mini and they struggle to run modern apps like Revain Video, Netflix and definitely Plex without freezing or crashing. This new Mini LUX has a nimble interface and hasn't blocked app downloads for almost a month! The woman is very happy with it! The only downside is the $200 price tag, but you're paying for a native Tivo connection to a Bolt or other base unit. I think I've just added another 3-5 years to the life of this system (I've already replaced the Tivo Bolt's internal hard drive once). Another nice feature is the MOCA network, which offloads all incoming and outgoing traffic (from Bolt to Mini) from your traditional Ethernet network. It's like a separate ultra-fast network just for Tivo devices!
