Section 4: Multi-room Functionality

On my Home Network, I have a Mate and one or more Moxi HD DVRs. What

flexibility does that give me for watching live and recorded TV?

With Moxi version 6.1 and newer, networked Moxi devices can share TV tuners in addition to

sharing recorded TV content. Access the Program guide information and Recorded TV content of

networked Moxi HD DVRs through their server file structure in Media Link. See the Moxi HD DVR

User Guide for more information.

Moxi version 6.1 and newer add the Channels, channel filters and Search cards to the Moxi

Menu for networked Mates. The information is populated from the first networked Moxi HD DVR

detected by the Mate’s Media Link. Access the Program guide information and Recorded TV

content of other (non-default) networked Moxi HD DVRs through their server file structure in

Media Link.

Mates do not have the ability to schedule delete or manage recordings on networked Moxi HD

DVRs; however, a Mate-user may tale a tuner from an HD DVR user (a courtesy notice appears

on the DVR) and, when a tuner conflict note is presented to them, can select to cancel a

recording. See the Moxi Mate User Guide for more information.

I have an SDV Tuning Adapter on a networked Moxi HD DVR. Is my Mate subject to

the SDV policies when I am watching content streamed from that HD DVR?

Yes, the Mate will receive the SDV messages and is subject to the SDV policies. Respond to any

messages you receive while watching streamed content.

Once in a while I see this message when watching streamed live TV: “No activity

has been detected on this TV. Channel will be stopped in 15 minutes. Please select

Yes if you wish to continue watching.” Why does this message appear?

Moxi manages streamed content. When you start watching streamed live TV, a timer is started.

After two hours and fifty-five minutes of inactivity (no remote presses), the message is presented

to see if anyone is still watching the streamed content. The following actions are taken if there is

no response to the note:

• Mate - the channel is changed to one that has an active recording on it. If no channels are

recording, streaming will continue on the channel currently tuned.

• HD DVR – tunes to one of the resident tuners in the HD DVR.
