With the use of an Internet connection, you don't need to copy files from a computer to your DVR to access them. Your computer can stream pictures wirelessly to your TiVo through your home network, thus allowing the TiVo to access and display the pictures on your TV screen. A TiVo software program called TiVo Desktop needs to be installed on your computer for the TiVo to have permission to access the photos. TiVo refers to this as "Publishing" pictures.
Instructions
1. Download and install the TiVo Desktop program to your computer. Go to the TiVo download page and click "Download Now" to start the download. Run the installer and follow the prompts. The program will install itself to your computer.
2. Open the TiVo Desktop program on your computer and select "Share Music, Photos, & Video," then select "Photos."
3. Select "Add Photos" and choose the folder on your PC that contains your pictures. Selecting a PC folder will display the pictures on the right side of the TiVo Desktop screen.
4. Click on the pictures you want to publish to TiVo and select "Add." If you want to add an entire folder, select the folder and click "Add."
5. Start up the TiVo unit and select "Music & Photos" from the TiVo central menu (this is for units with an HD menu). For other TiVo units, select "Music, Photos, & Showcases."
6. View the pictures by clicking on the folder containing the pictures. Click "SELECT," then choose a picture and press "SELECT" again.
