If your home network has Internet access but does not include a firewall, information on your home network can be easily seen
by anyone on the Internet. Most firewall products stop all traffic originating from the Internet, protecting your systems from
malicious network attacks or curious browsers interested in the files you have on your computer. A firewall can be installed to
protect an individual computer or to protect a whole home network. Because the TiVo Desktop application makes music and
photos you publish to your DVR available on your home network, TiVo recommends that you install a firewall that protects
your home network. If your network does not include a firewall, Internet users may be able to access music and photos on your
network or even information on your computer, such as personal financial data. TiVo strongly suggests you take steps to
protect your home network from unwanted intruders. Routers and home gateways, available at most electronics stores, may
include a firewall meant to protect your home network.
