Customize Channels

What are channel lists for?

Features such as Search by Title and Search Using WishLists

only look at programs available on channels selected in the Channels You Receive list.
Your recorder also uses lists of channels to decide which channels the TiVo Live Guide
displays and which channels to search in Browse By Channel.

There are three selections available in Customize Channels:

Cable Lineup.

Select this if you have changed your subscription package or your

channel lineup looks wrong in “Channels you Receive.” On the next screen you’ll be
able to choose among available service packages based on your zip code.

Channels You Receive.

The Channels You Receive list starts with all the channels

included in your service package. It can be customized to include only channels you
actually subscribe to and to reflect your viewing preferences (for example: if you
never watch a channel and don’t plan to set up any recordings on it, or let the TiVo
service search for programs on it, you can de-select it here).

Favorites.

The Favorites list is for channels you watch frequently. Include only a few

channels in this list, so that you can quickly look at what’s coming up on them.

To set up a custom channel list:

1. Select the Channels You Receive or Favorite Channels list. A check mark appears to

the left of channels that are part of the selected list.

2. To remove or add a channel, highlight it and press SELECT. (You can speed through

the list with the CHAN UP/DOWN. To go directly to a specific channel, press the
number buttons, then press ENTER/JUMP.)

In the event that there is a change

to your cable or satellite

subscription package, a TiVo message

will let you know what the change is. You

must then go to Customize Channels and

make the Channels You Receive list reflect

the change.
