Messages & Setup
Standby
You can put your Recorder in Standby mode by selecting Standby in Messages & Setup.
To return to normal mode from Standby, press either the TiVo button the or LIVE TV
button. (On some remotes, there is a POWER button that puts the Recorder in Standby
mode and takes it back out.)
In Standby mode:
• Your TV shows a black screen and the lights on the front of the Recorder go out.
• Programs that are being recorded or are scheduled to record will still be recorded. (If a
program is being recorded, the red light will turn on.)
• The Recorder will still connect to the TiVo
®
service. (If the Recorder is connecting,
the yellow light will turn on.)
• If you temporarily turned off Parental Controls, Standby mode re-enables them. (See
page 89 for more on Parental Controls.)
• The Recorder will continue to save a portion of live TV—up to 30 minutes of
programming.
• If live TV was paused when Standby was selected, the Recorder will remain paused
for up to 30 minutes.
• If the TiVo Live Guide was set to display a category filter, filtering will be turned off.
If you used only RF coaxial cables to
connect your program source
(antenna or cable) to the Recorder, and
also to connect the Recorder to your TV,
Standby mode allows RF signal pass-
through. This means you can watch
channels on your RF program source using
your TV’s tuner instead of the Recorder’s
tuner—and that means you can watch one
channel while recording another! Keep in
mind, you won’t have Recorder
functionality in live TV (pause, rewind,
etc.) while the Recorder is in Standby.
