Step-by-Step Instructions

Guided Setup walks you through the steps necessary for your particular programming

source (antenna, cable, satellite, etc.) and equipment configuration. Depending

upon your program source, you may not encounter all of the Guided

Setup screens.

Program Source. The first step is to specify what kind of television programming

source you have. If you have more than one source of programming (for example, both

satellite and cable), you can choose that here. Press the UP/DOWN arrows on the

Remote Control to highlight your program source(s), then press SELECT to choose

that option and move to the next screen. If you have a cable A/B system, you can only

pick one to watch with your SVR Recorder. See “Connecting Your Equipment” on

pages 15–39 for information about splitting your signal in order to watch the other

channels.

Cable Box. If you chose cable as your program source, do you have a set-top cable

box, or does your cable come straight out of your wall and into your TV?

Satellite Connection. If you chose satellite as your programming source, did you

connect the control cable to a serial jack on the back of your satellite set-top box, or

did you use the IR Control cable? A serial connection is preferable, if your satellite

box has a serial jack available.

Note

Antenna users: TiVo uses the channel lineup of

a nearby cable system to determine which

channels you receive. If there is no cable

company that serves your Zip Code, enter the

Zip Code of a nearby community. TiVo will

automatically make sure the channel numbers

are correct for the broadcast stations.
