IR Code List. If you use an IR connection, the Recorder will need to send a code to your
cable or satellite box in order to change channels. You will need to test these codes to see
which works best with your connection. Each code has a slow, medium, and fast version.
First, test the slow codes by highlighting them and pressing the CHAN UP/DOWN button
slowly several times. When you find a slow code that changes channels every time, try a
faster speed for that code. (Slow may take longer, but fast may be too fast for your cable or
satellite box.) You want to find the code with the fastest speed that changes the channel
every time. When you find it, press SELECT to choose that code. If channels don’t change
at all, see page 136 for troubleshooting steps.
Program Call. During this call, the TiVo service downloads all your program
information—which includes program titles, times, channels, and descriptions—for up to
the next two weeks. If the call doesn’t succeed, see page 132 for troubleshooting steps. If
you need to use the phone during the program call, pick it up, then hang it up, then wait
about 45 seconds. The Recorder will hang up and you can make the program call later.
Congratulations! Once you have activated your TiVo service and completed Guided
Setup, you’ll see the Congratulations! screen. If you have not yet activated your TiVo
service, you will be reminded to do so at this time.
You can immediately begin watching live TV and using your Recorder’s features to
control live TV (pause, instant replay, slow motion). The Recorder works behind the
scenes for about four to eight hours to organize program information for the first time.
During this process, you will have to wait to search for programs, set up recordings, and
view information in the program guide. A message at the bottom of the Pick Programs to
Record screen will warn you if you are not able to search for programs yet. If the message
appears, try again after a few hours.
