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.
