Multi-room, not all Tivos see each other

1264 Views 7 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  unitron
I have 3 Tivos, a series 2, a Tivo HD and a Tivo Premiere XL.
All have lifetime subscriptions
All are on the same account
All are on the same network and same subnet
All have static IP's assigned (192.168.1.105-107)

The Series 2 can see both of the other Tivos
The Tivo Premiere XL can only see the Series 2
The Tivo HD can only see the Series 2

Thoughts?

Did you check under your account, under DVR Preferences? all boxes checked. If they have been, then you could restart all your tivos.

Check your router settings and make sure multicast is enabled, if it's not, enable it and then reboot your Tivos.
It sounds like a broadcast/multicast issue. Try toggling the multicast/multicast filtering setting on your router.

I assume that the router's LAN side fixed IP address is 192.168.1.1, that the subnet mask on it is set to 255.255.255.0, and that the router's DHCP range is set somewhere the TiVos ain't, like say from 192.168.1.250 to .254

Is each TiVo set with a gateway of 192.168.1.1, a subnet mask same as the router's, broadcast address of 192.168.1.255 and the first DNS address as 192.168.1.1, and if wireless adapters are being used, have all the TiVos been assigned the same SSID and channel?

I know it sounds like "Is the power cord plugged into the wall socket", but it never hurts to check.

Oh, after everything is checked, reboot everything, including the router.
reboot fixed it.
Think of it as an electronic kick in the

slats.
