The Basics in Five Short Tours
Cool Things You Can Do
Never, ever be late for your favorite programs! Your co-worker just told you about a
must-see program that’s on tonight, but you won’t make it home in time to set up a
recording. No problem! If your Recorder is connected to a home network with a
broadband Internet connection, you can use TiVo Central Online (www.tivo.com/tco) to
schedule the recording. It will be waiting for you when you get home. See page 53.
Connect your Recorder to your home network. When you do, your Recorder becomes a
digital home entertainment center, with access to even more features. See Chapter 7.
Multi-Room Viewing. Record programs in the living room and watch them in the
bedroom–or vice versa. If you have more than one TiVo

TM
DVR connected to
your home network, you can transfer programs between them.
Enjoy digital Music & Photos—from your sofa! Connect your Recorder to your home
network, and you can watch slideshows of your digital photos on your big screen TV, and
listen to playlists of your MP3s on your stereo system.
Looking for good movies? Kids’ shows? Science fiction? With Search by Title, you can
browse upcoming programs by category. See page 49.
See a good preview, record the show. If you’re watching live TV and a promotion
comes on for an upcoming program, you may see an Ipreview

icon like this
one: Press THUMBS UP
TM
while the icon is visible to see options for
recording for the program. You don’t have to remember when it’s on—it will be recorded!
(If you accidentally fast-forwarded past the Ipreview icon, rewind until it’s visible again.)
Use the Overtime Scheduler
TM
(and don’t miss overtime!). Programs sometimes start
before they’re supposed to, and often end later than scheduled. You can adjust your
recording times to account for variations using the Overtime Scheduler. See page 44.
Other DVRs connected to your home
network appear at the bottom of the Now
