Channels You Receive. First, if you had to make a guess about your provider or lineup,
verify that the channel numbers match the networks on this list. (For example: if you had
the lineup to the right, is channel 16 actually KKPX?) If you aren’t sure, refer to the
channel guide or quick-reference card from your cable or satellite company.
Next, add or remove check marks—so that the list reflects the channels you actually
subscribe to—by highlighting a channel and pressing SELECT. (Some types of satellite
receivers will try to tune to a channel you don’t receive if it is selected here, so be sure to
de-select the channels you don’t receive.)
You can also customize this channel list to reflect your viewing preferences. If you never
watch a particular channel, and don’t plan to set up recordings or let TiVo search for
programs on it, remove the check mark next to that channel.
The TiVo service will search for programs on the checkmarked channels only. Also, the
CHAN UP/DOWN button skips channels that don’t have a check mark in this list.
Finally, press the RIGHT arrow to continue. If you change your mind later, you can easily
check and uncheck channels in this list. (See page 59 for details.)
Connection to Recorder Screens. These screens ask what type of video cable you used to
connect your cable box or satellite receiver to your recorder. Choose your configuration
from the three choices described on page 6 (Hint: the first one is the most common).
Connection to Cable/Satellite Box. Your recorder needs to send a signal to the cable box
or satellite receiver to change channels. It can do this through an IR (infrared) or serial
connection. We recommend you use the serial connection if possible, because it is easier,
more reliable, and faster than an IR connection. For help choosing a connection method,
see your Start Here booklet and Installation Guide. After Guided Setup, if your channels
don’t change, see the Troubleshooting suggestions on page 79.
Use the CHAN UP/DOWN button as a
shortcut to go up or down a whole
screen at a time.
