IR Code List. If you use an IR connection, the recorder will need to send a code to your
cable or satellite box in order to change channels. You will need to test these codes to see
which works best with your connection. Each code has a slow, medium, and fast version.
First, test the slow codes by highlighting them and pressing the CHAN UP/DOWN button
slowly several times. When you find a slow code that changes channels every time, try a
faster speed for that code. (Slow may take longer, but fast may be too fast for your cable or
satellite box.) You want to find the code with the fastest speed that changes the channel
every time. When you find it, press SELECT to choose that code. If channels don’t
change at all, see page 76 for troubleshooting steps.
Program Call. During this call, the TiVo service downloads all your program
information—which includes program titles, times, channels, and descriptions—for up to
the next two weeks. If the call doesn’t succeed, see pages 73 to 74 for troubleshooting
steps. If you need to use the phone, pick up your telephone, then hang it up and wait a few
seconds. The recorder will hang up. You will need to re-initiate the program call later.
Congratulations! Once you have activated your TiVo service and completed Guided
Setup, you’ll see the Congratulations! screen. If you have not yet activated your TiVo
service, you will be reminded to do so at this time.
You can immediately begin watching live TV and using your recorder’s features to
control live TV (pause, instant replay, slow motion). The recorder works behind the
scenes for about four to eight hours to organize program information for the first time.
During this process, you will have to wait to search for programs, set up recordings, and
view information in the TiVo Live Guide. A message at the bottom of the Pick Programs
to Record screen will warn you if you are not able to search for programs yet. If the
message appears, try again after a few hours.
Press the TiVo button on your remote control to go to TiVo Central ® to begin enjoying the
TiVo service. For help getting started, check out the tours in Chapter 2 of this guide.
