Setup. During Guided Setup you will be asked simple questions about
your program source, Zip code, and time zone. Use the SELECT button
on the remote to select or deselect options or to move to the next

Helpful Hints
(see the
User’s Guide
for more information)
Phone
What if your phone jack isn’t close to the Recorder? Use the included 25-foot phone cord to complete
Guided Setup. Afterwards,
you
’
ll be able to connect your Recorder to a home network and use a shared
broadband Internet connection instead of a phone line to make connections to the TiVo service. See
Chapter 8,
“
Connecting to a Home Network,
”
in the
User’s Guide
.
Having trouble with the Guided Setup phone calls? Go back to the Phone Dialing Options screen and try
these steps: If you have call waiting, take out the prefix you inserted. Turn off dial tone detection. Turn off
phone availability detection. (See the
User’s Guide
for details.)
If you need to use your phone during a Guided Setup call, pick it up, wait 5 to 10 seconds, then hang up.
When you pick up the phone again, the line should be free. You can complete Guided Setup later.
Channels
During Guided Setup, you select a channel lineup. A channel
lineup is the set of channels you subscribe to, such as “Digital
Extended Basic” or “DIRECTV-Boston, MA.” If you aren’t sure of
your lineup, check your channel lineup card, your cable bill, or
make your best guess. Guided Setup includes a Channels You
Receive screen where you can check to make sure that channel
numbers shown match your lineup. If your guess was wrong, go
back and select a different lineup.
Remember to use the Channels You Receive screen to remove checkmarks for channels you don’t receive or
never watch. (You can change your channel selections later, even after you complete Guided Setup.)
