Welcome to the TiVolution®!

It’s a revolution in television. We’ve pioneered an exciting new category that will forever

change the way you watch TV. With a new TiVo Digital Video Recorder in your living

room, you’ll quickly see how easy it is to watch what you want, when you want.

Never miss your favorite show again.

TiVo automatically records every episode of your favorite series, all season long, even if

the network schedule changes. It can even skip reruns.

No more interruptions.

Pause live TV for as long as 30 minutes—any channel, any time. You can also rewind,

instant replay, and slow-motion live or recorded TV. Wow!

No videotapes required.

Because it’s all-digital, TiVo saves all your programs in one place so they’re ready-to-

watch anytime. You can even start watching a show from the beginning while it’s still

recording.

Watch more of what you like, less of what you don’t.

Because the TiVo service is “smart,” it automatically finds and records shows that feature

your favorite actor, team, hobby, etc., so you’ll always catch the good stuff—even if you

never knew it was on.

At last, TV fits into your busy life, not the other way around.

TiVo, TV your way.

Using This Guide

Getting Started

1. Activate the TiVo service (see page 2 for more on activating).

2. Connect your recorder using the Start Here booklet and Installation Guide.

3. Complete Guided Setup following the steps provided in Chapter 1 of this guide.

When you’ve finished these three steps, you’re ready to use the TiVo service. Take the

tours in Chapter 2 of this guide to check out the basic features. Read Chapters 3, 4, and 5

to become more familiar with the service’s capabilities or to answer specific questions.

Basic terms. These are terms used in this guide when we talk about the rest of the service:

Live TV: If you’re watching a program as it’s being broadcast, you’re watching live

TV. With TiVo, you can also watch recorded programs or watch “behind” live TV (for

example: if you pause live TV, then come back later and watch from the paused spot).

Icons: These are graphic symbols used in the TiVo service to provide information and

options you can select. You’ll find a glossary of icons on the inside back cover.

Program Information screen: When you select a program (either a future showing or

a recording in Now Playing) from a list, you will see this type of screen. With it you

can select actions and view a description of the program.

Service Updates

A few features described in this manual (such as “Skip to Tick,” the Program Details

screen, and using an asterisk (*) in a WishList™search) may not be available when you

first start your recorder. If not, they’ll arrive as part of your first TiVo service update.

TiVo subscribers automatically receive service updates. Details about recent service

updates are available at www.tivo.com/support. Updates happen automatically. You don’t

need to do a thing!

You will see important and helpful

notes and tips in this side column.

This is a Program Information screen. It

has a description of the program and a list

of actions you can select.

On a Program Information screen, press

INFO (or DISPLAY if you don’t have an INFO

button on your remote) to see the Program

Details screen.

CHAPTER

Activating the TiVo Service 2

Basic Steps 3

Chapter 1 Guided Setup

Activating the TiVo Service

To activate your TiVo service, visit the TiVo website at www.tivo.com/activate/ or call

1-877-367-8486. When you activate, you will register the TiVo service number of your

recorder and choose a billing option.

The TiVo service includes the program information shown in the TiVo Live Guide and

used by Season Pass™recordings, WishList searches, and Search by Title, as well as

TiVolution Magazine, Showcases, and Service Updates.

If you do not activate within about a week of completing Guided Setup, your recorder will

have limited functionality. The recorder was designed to be used exclusively with the

TiVo service. The TiVo service is required for proper operation of the recorder. No

functionality is represented, warranted, or should be expected without a subscription to the

TiVo service.

Activate now! Don’t miss a single day of using the TiVo service.

Your TiVo service number is a 15-

digit number found on the label on

the back of your recorder.

Basic Steps

After you connect your recorder to your TV and activate the TiVo service, you will need

to complete Guided Setup, which takes about 1 hour. (For more information about

connecting your recorder, see the Start Here booklet and the Installation Guide.)

•Guided Setup is easy. The Guided Setup screens step you through the process. If you

get stuck, look for tips and troubleshooting in this chapter. (You may not see all the

screens described here, or you may see them in a different order, depending on your

equipment.)

If you make a mistake during Guided Setup, simply press LEFT arrow to go back and

fix it. You can also change your setup information later in Messages & Setup. (See

Chapter 5 for details.)

•Guided Setup is intelligent. In Guided Setup, you tell your recorder your program

source (antenna, cable, or satellite) and equipment setup. Then you will only have to

complete the steps that apply to your particular setup.

•Guided Setup requires two phone calls. Try to complete Guided Setup when you

don’t need the phone for an hour or so.

After completing Guided Setup, you can watch live TV and use TiVo service features to

control live TV. You will have to wait a few hours while the recorder organizes

information before you can set up your Season Pass recordings and search for programs

(see page 8 for details).

If you can’t find the help you need in

this chapter, please visit online

TiVo Customer Support at

www.tivo.com/support

or call us. (Refer to

the

Installation Guide

for Customer

Support contact information.)

If you need to use the phone during

either of the setup phone calls, pick

up your telephone, then hang it up and

wait a few seconds. The recorder will hang

up, and the next time you pick the phone

up there will be a dial tone. You will need

to re-initiate the phone calls later.
