Completing Guided Setup
After you connect your Recorder to your TV and activate the TiVo service, you will need
to complete Guided Setup, which takes less than an hour.
• Guided Setup is easy. The Guided Setup screens step you through the process. If you
get stuck, look for tips and troubleshooting in this chapter. (You may not see all the
screens described here, or you may see them in a different order, depending on your
equipment.)
If you make a mistake during Guided Setup, simply press the LEFT arrow to go back
and fix it. You can also change your setup information later in Messages & Setup. (See
Chapter 6.)
• Guided Setup is intelligent. In Guided Setup, you tell your Recorder your program
source (antenna, cable, or satellite) and equipment setup. Then you only have to
complete the steps that apply to your particular setup.
• Guided Setup requires two phone calls. Try to complete Guided Setup when you
don’t need the phone for an hour or so. After you complete Guided Setup, you’ll be
able to connect your Recorder to a home network and use a shared broadband Internet
connection instead of a phone line to connect to the TiVo service. See Chapter 7.
After completing Guided Setup, you can watch live TV and use TiVo service features to
control live TV. You will have to wait a few hours while the Recorder organizes
information before you can set up your Season Pass
TM
recordings and search for programs.
If you can’t find the help you need in
this chapter, please visit
TiVo Customer Support online at

Chapter 8 for Customer Support contact
information.)
If you need to use the phone during
either of the setup phone calls, pick
up your telephone, then hang it up and
wait about 45 seconds. The Recorder will
hang up, and the next time you pick the
phone up there will be a dial tone. You can
complete Guided Setup later.
