Guided Setup is Easy!
When you see the Welcome screen, you are ready to begin Guided
Setup. During Guided Setup you will be asked simple questions
about your program source, ZIP code, and time zone. Use the
SELECT button on the remote to select or deselect options or to
move to the next screen. Use the LEFT arrow to go back to the
previous screen.

Helpful Hints (see the Viewer's Guide for more information)
Phone
What if your phone jack isn’t close to the TiVo DVR? Use the included 25-foot phone cord to complete
Guided Setup. Afterwards, you’ll be able to connect your DVR to a home network and use a shared
broadband Internet connection instead of a phone line to make connections to the TiVo service. See the
TiVo Viewer’s Guide for details.
Having trouble with the Guided Setup phone calls? Go back to the Phone Dialing Options screen and try
these steps: If you have call waiting, take out any prefix you inserted. Turn off dial tone detection. Turn off
phone availability detection. (See the TiVo Viewer’s Guide for details.)
If you need to use your phone while a Guided Setup call is in progress, pick up the phone, hang up, and
wait about 45 seconds. When you pick up the phone again, the line should be free. You can complete
Guided Setup later.
Channels
During Guided Setup, you select a channel lineup. A channel
lineup is the set of channels you subscribe to–like “Digital
Extended Basic” or “DIRECTV-Boston, MA.” If you aren’t sure
of your lineup, check your channel lineup card, your cable bill,
or make your best guess. Guided Setup includes a Channels
You Receive screen where you can check to make sure that
channel numbers shown match your lineup. If your guess was
wrong, go back and select a different lineup.
You can use the Channels You Receive screen to remove check marks for channels you don't receive or
never watch. (You can change your channel selections later, even after you complete Guided Setup.)
Account and Billing
You can view, change, and manage your TiVo account information online using Manage My Account.
Activate TiVo service, purchase Home Media Option, name your DVRs, and more! If you want to change your
billing option, or update your address or credit card information at any time, visit www.tivo.com/manage.
