Channel Changing. Use this setting to make changes to the way your Recorder changes
channels on your cable or satellite box. You should do this if:
• you change the type of control cable (IR or Serial) used to change channels on your
cable or satellite box (see “Choosing a Channel Changing Cable” on page 5),
• your cable or satellite box is replaced by a new make or model,
• you are having trouble with channel changing (see page 136 for troubleshooting.)
Channel Lists. The Recorder uses channel lists to determine which channels to display in
the guide, and which channels are available for recording programs. Features such as
Search by Title, Search Using a WishList, and Browse By Channel search for programs
only on channels you select in the Channels You Receive list.
Channels You Receive. The Channels You Receive list starts with all the channels
included in your service package. You can customize it to include only channels you
actually subscribe to and to reflect your viewing preferences. For example, if you
never watch a channel and don’t plan to set up any recordings on it, or search for
programs on it, you can de-select it here.
Favorite Channels. The Favorite Channels list is for channels you watch frequently.
Include only a few channels in this list, so that you can quickly look at what’s coming
up on them using the guide. See “Customizing the Guide” on page 47.
To set up a custom channel list:
1. Select the Channels You Receive or Favorite Channels list. A check mark appears to
the left of channels that are part of the selected list.
2. To remove or add a channel, highlight it and press SELECT. You can speed through
the list with the CHAN UP/DOWN. To go directly to a specific channel, use the
number buttons, then press ENTER. Your changes are saved automatically.
In the event that there is a change
to your cable or satellite
subscription package, a TiVo message
will let you know what the change is. You
must then use Channel Settings to ensure
that the Channels You Receive list reflects
the change to your lineup.
