Running two Tivo Minis on a Moca network with a Tivo Roamio with Cablecard.
Roamio (named Media Room) tunes cable fine.
Mini #1 (named Master Bedroom) also works fine.
Mini #2 (named Man Cave) is my problem child. It apparently cannot connect to the Roamio. It admits it is on a Moca network. When I try live TV (cable) it searches for a tuner and then I get an error message saying "cannot find Bedroom box." As above, I don't have a box named Bedroom.

Is my Mini schizo? It is set up as Man Cave but apparently thinks it is Bedroom.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

1) Have you tried to reset the configured host DVR for the problem Mini?

2) Have you tried a factory reset of the problem Mini? (A Clear and Delete Everything executed on the specific Mini only.)

3) Can you relay what each of your Mini's report via their Network Status dialog pages regarding MoCA statistics? (see >here< for how to access the Network Status dialog; also, you'll need to use the remote's Channel Down/Up buttons to scroll through the pages of info)

Do they report the same number of nodes? The same MAC addresses for peers? what are the PHY rates and power estimates? (Or just upload the screenshots.)

4) Do you have a "PoE" MoCA filter installed? (i.e. A MoCA filter at the cable signal's point-of-entry to the residence.)

I haven't done all of that but I'll give it a shot and repost later. Thanks

PROBLEM SOLVED! Simple solution, possible similar to #1? Under Devices and Remotes > Tivo DVR Connection, I just had to check "Media Room" as the preferred DVR. Apparently it was either connected to or trying to connect to a DVR called "Bedroom," which, again, I don't have.

In any case, all is working now. Thanks for the suggestions!

Yes, that’s the “configure host DVR” resolution. Glad you found the path to the setting; I couldn’t find the instructions within the new TiVo support page info.
