Recorder & Phone Setup

Cable/Satellite Box

Select Cable/Satellite Box if you want to change the connection of your cable or satellite

box to the recorder—for example, if you decide to replace a Composite cable connection

with an S-Video connection. You should also select this if you want to change the way

your cable box is set up to interact with the recorder. For example, if you buy a new cable

box, you can find the correct IR codes for changing channels on your new cable box with

your TiVo remote here.

Connection to Recorder. Select this if you change the cables you use to connect your

cable box or satellite receiver to the recorder. The next screen you see depends on whether

you have one or two video sources. For details on getting through these Connection to

Recorder screens, see page 6.

Cable Box Setup, Satellite Box Setup, or Control Cable/Sat. Setup. (The name of this

selection changes depending on the video source to your recorder.) Use this selection if

you change the control cable (IR or Serial) you use to change channels on your cable box

or satellite receive, or if your cable box or satellite receiver is replaced by another make or

model.

Phone Connection

The recorder makes a brief daily phone call to get updates to the TiVo service; program

information for the TiVo Live Guide, Search By Title, and WishLists; and updates to

TiVolution Magazine and Showcases. The recorder usually uses the phone for less than

ten minutes for a daily call. When the TiVo service is being updated, it may take longer,

but this happens rarely (only a few times a year).

If you change video sources, for

example, by changing from cable to

satellite service, you should repeat

Guided Setup (Go to Messages & Setup,

then System Reset, then Repeat Guided

Setup).

Your recorder should NOT be used

with a digital PBX phone system.

Doing so may permanently damage your

recorder’s modem and will void your

warranty. See your

Installation Guide

for

more information.
