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.
