Dialing Format. Choose the dialing format you need. For example, should the dial-in

number be preceded by your area code and should a “1” precede the area code? In some

areas, even local numbers must be dialed using the area code.

Providers. Choose your satellite or cable provider from this list.

For cable users, the

list is determined by your Zip Code and what is known about cable companies in your

area. If the choice is obvious to you, select it and move on to the next screen.

Sometimes, however, the same cable company will broadcast from multiple locations,

(called “head ends”) in a given geography. When this occurs, TiVo’s list of providers

will have entries with very similar names, and it may be difficult to know for sure

which one is yours. You can try looking at your cable bill to match it to one of the

choices, but if you still aren’t sure, make your best guess and proceed to the next

screen. You will test your guess in a minute when you view your channel lineups and

start to customize your channels (see “Channels You Watch” on page 47).
