Q u e s t i o n s a b o u t C h a n n e l s
• Your video cable may have come loose. Make sure all the cable connections on the
back of your recorder are secure.
• Verify that you are receiving a video signal by temporarily connecting the video
source directly to the TV. If you still do not see any video, there may be a problem
with your cable, satellite or antenna equipment.
• Restart your recorder. (From TiVo Central, select Messages & Setup, then Restart
or Reset System, then Restart the Recorder. On the Restart the Recorder screen,
press THUMBS DOWN three times, then press ENTER. You will see the
Welcome screen, and the system will restart within about 45 seconds. You can also
restart the recorder by unplugging it, waiting 15 seconds, then plugging it back in.)
• The cables you are using to connect your recorder to your TV or other equipment
may be damaged or defective. Try exchanging the cables connected to the recorder
with other cables that you know are working properly.
I can’t go to one of my channels.
• You may be using a channel list that does not include the channel you want. Use the
numbers on the remote control to enter the channel number, then press ENTER/JUMP.
For more information on using a channel list, see page 59.
• The channel you want may be showing a program that exceeds a limit set with Parental
Controls. In this case, you will see only a black screen with a notice that a limit has
been exceeded. You will be able to tune to the channel if you use the Parental Controls
password. (For more information on Parental Controls, see page 53.) If your cable or
satellite box has a feature like Parental Controls, you may have to use the satellite or
cable box’s remote to disable it as well.
