®
service (see page 22 for more on activating).
2. Connect your Recorder using the Start Here poster and Chapter 1 of this guide.

When you’ve finished these three steps, you’re ready to use the TiVo service. Take the
tours in Chapter 3 of this guide to check out the basic features.
Basic terms. These are terms used in this guide when we talk about the rest of the service:
Recorder. Your HUMAX DVD Recorder combines a TiVo
®
Digital Video Recorder
(DVR) with a DVD recorder. This guide uses “Recorder” to refer to it.
Live TV. If you’re watching a program as it’s being broadcast, you’re watching live TV.
With the TiVo service, you can also watch recorded programs, or watch “behind” live
TV (if you pause live TV, then come back later and watch from the paused spot).
Icons. These are graphic symbols used in the TiVo service to provide information and
options you can select. You’ll find the Glossary of Icons on the inside back cover.
Program Information screen. When you select a program title from a list, you’ll see
this type of screen. From it, select actions and view the program description.
Menu paths. Notes at the bottom of some pages show you how to find the screen being
described. For example, page 46 describes the To Do List. At the bottom of the page you
see TiVo Central Pick Programs to Record To Do List. This means you can find the
To Do List by going to TiVo Central, selecting Pick Programs to Record, then To Do List.
Service updates. Your Recorder may receive service updates which include features not
described in this guide. Details about service updates are always available at
www.tivo.com/support.
Throughout this guide, you will see
important and helpful notes and
tips in this side column.
