Activating the TiVo Service
The TiVo service includes the program information shown in the TiVo Live Guide
™
and
used by the Season Passes, WishLists, and Search by Title features, as well as by
TiVolution Magazine, Showcases, and Service Updates.
If you haven’t activated the TiVo service already, you’ll be instructed to visit the TiVo
website at http://www.tivo.com/activate/ or to call 1-877-367-8486. To activate, you must
register the TiVo Service Number of your recorder and choose a billing option.
You will receive enough program information to give you a chance to try the TiVo
service. 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 today! Don’t miss a single day of using the TiVo service.
From the Congratulations! screen, press the TiVo button on your remote control to go to
TiVo Central
®
and begin enjoying the TiVo service. For help getting started, check out
the tours in Chapter 2 of this guide.
You can find the 15-digit TiVo
Service Number by going to TiVo
Central (press the TiVo button on the
remote), then Messages & Setup (press
the DOWN arrow to move the blue
highlight bar, then press SELECT), then
selecting System Information.
