Review on Enhance Your TiVo Experience with πŸ“Ί the TiVo VOX Remote: Voice Search, Black (C00301) by James Cruz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No pairing in RF mode for A92 Mini and Roamio

I was happy to get my remote and use the voice features, but it won't pair in RF mode with the dongle that came with it. Pairing occurs only in IR mode. I have a Tivo mini A92 series and Roamio. At least I can use it in IR mode. Also, the Hydra interface on my mini device keeps losing connection from the Moca to my main Tivo, Roamio, and I can't watch live TV. Every day when I turn on the Mini I have to restart it to reconnect. I hope they release a software fix for it soon. Update from 26.11. For those reviewers who might not know, there is a known issue with RF mode coupling for older Tivo products like me. There is a tivo community forum where other users are having the same RF coupling issue as me and keep the same mini A92s as me. There appears to be a software fix in the works for the RC9 version that will supposedly fix this and other issues. I can't wait for this fix to come out. Update December 1st 2017 The RC9 software patch is now installed on my Tivo mini. This time I was able to complete the RF pairing by holding down the Tivo button and the back button at the same time until the LED turned red. Then release the buttons and the connection was started and ended after a few seconds. Now I can use the voice search feature and it works pretty well. I changed my rating from 1 star to 4 stars; Due to my initial problems, I'm not giving a full 5 stars.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • There are nuances
