Channels You Watch. Next you will see a list of channels based on the program
source, cable or satellite provider, and lineup(s) you selected. Make sure the channel
numbers match the networks on this list the way they do when you watch TV. If you
had to make a guess about your provider or lineup, this is where you should check to be
sure you were right. If you have satellite as your program source and
selected the Premium Channel Lineup, none of the premium channels will
be selected. Go through the list and select the channels you subscribe to.
Look at the channel numbers and stations in the list to see if they match each other
correctly. Perhaps you are familiar enough with your channels to make the verification
easy. If you aren’t sure, locate a channel guide or quick-reference card from your cable
or satellite company that lists the channel numbers and stations. There is also a website
called TVQuest (http://www.tvquest.com) that you can check. If you determine that the
channel numbers and networks don’t match, use the LEFT ARROW to go back and
choose a different provider or lineup, and try again.
Once you’ve determined that your channel list is correct, you can proceed to customize
it. The list starts with a checkmark next to the channels that are in the lineup(s) you
selected. If you don’t receive or never watch a particular station, use the UP/DOWN
arrows to highlight it and press SELECT to remove the checkmark. If you subscribe to
premium channels that aren’t checked, highlight them and press SELECT. In this way
you create your own custom lineup.
Once your SVR Recorder is set up and you are watching TV, when you
change channels up and down, you will only see the channels you check
on this screen — so you’ll only see the channels you really receive and watch. In
addition, when you are looking for programs to record, you will only see programs on
these channels. You can easily check and uncheck channels later if you change your
mind. When you are satisfied with your lineup, press the RIGHT ARROW to continue.
Note
• If you know that channel 5 should be
ABC, check to see that TiVo has this
information correct. Use the CH
(channel) +/– buttons as a shortcut to
go up or down a whole screen at a
time. If you’re not sure whether you
receive a channel, leave it selected.
You can check later when Guided
Setup is complete. You can always
change your lineup from Messages &
Setup later and deselect the channel.
• If you have both cable and satellite
sources connected to the Recorder,
you may notice more than one channel
with identical station IDs, but the
Recorder functions are not affected.
