Using This Guide
Thank you for choosing a high-definition TiVo
®
Digital Video
Recorder (DVR). This Viewer’s Guide helps you learn about the
smart-recording features of the TiVo
®
service and home networking
capabilities of your TiVo HD or TiVo HD XL.
Getting Started:
1. Activate the TiVo service. The TiVo service is what makes your
DVR smart. It includes everything from your program listings to
Season Pass
®
recordings and WishList
®
searches. If you haven’t
yet activated your TiVo service, visit www.tivo.com/activate or
call 1-877-367-8486.
TiVo service is required and sold separately. No functionality is
represented or should be expected without a paid subscription to
the TiVo service.
2. Connect your TiVo DVR. If the TiVo service is the brains, the
TiVo DVR is the body. Use the Start Here poster to connect the
DVR to your TV programming source and your television.
3. Complete Guided Setup. After connecting your DVR, follow the
steps in on-screen Guided Setup. This customizes the DVR for
your home.
4. Take a Tour!
Once you’re done with Guided Setup, the
Tours
in
Chapter 1 of this guide introduce you to the best features of the
TiVo service. You may also find helpful videos already recorded
for you on the Now Playing List.
Basic Terms
When we talk about the TiVo service, here are some terms you
should know:
Live TV.
If you’re watching a program as it’s being broadcast,
you’re watching live TV. With the TiVo service, you can pause
live TV for up to 30 minutes. When you resume watching,
you’re “behind” live TV.
Dual tuner.
A tuner is a device found inside DVRs, TVs, VCRs,
cable boxes—anything designed to receive TV signals. A tuner
picks one channel to display from all the channels you receive; it
“tunes” to that channel. Your TiVo
®
DVR is a “dual tuner”
device, meaning that it has two tuners inside.
CableCARD
TM
Decoder.
CableCARD decoders allow your TiVo
DVR to receive digital cable channels without a cable box. If
you subscribe to digital cable, you must order at least one
CableCARD decoder from your cable company. You need one
Multi-Stream CableCARD or two Single-Stream CableCARD
decoders to watch and record two shows at once.
Service updates. From time to time, your DVR may receive
updates to the TiVo service including features not described in
this guide. Details are always available at www.tivo.com .
