Out of Network Streaming - Question

The network with my Tivo has no wireless on it - it's ethernet only. I have an apple device, and I would like to watch shows while I travel at hotels through their wireless network. But it would seem I need to (at least once) have my iOS device on the same network as the Tivo to set up this ability. Can I somehow get my iOS device to "pair" with the Tivo through the lightning cable?

Or, like Yoda, do I ask the impossible?
