Basic Cable (no cable box)
Need some help?
I don’t see the Welcome screen.
Make sure all cables are connected from the OUT jack of
one device to the IN jack of the next. Never connect OUT to
OUT or IN to IN.
• If you used a Coaxial RF cable to connect your DVR to your TV,
make sure your TV is tuned to the same channel (3 or 4) that you
selected on the back of your DVR (using the channel 3/4 switch).
• Make sure your TV is displaying the appropriate video source.
You may need to use the Input, Source, or TV/Video button on
your TV’s remote to change video sources. If you are having
trouble changing the video source, refer to your TV owner’s
manual.
• If you connected the DVR to an A/V receiver or home theater
system, and you are having trouble finding the correct input, try
connecting it directly to the TV instead.
My TiVo
®
remote isn't working.
• Notice the red light above the TiVo button on the remote. If the
red light does not flash when you press any button, try replacing
the batteries.
• Do lights on the front of the TiVo DVR seem to respond (i.e.,
blink or flash) when you press any button on the remote? If lights
on the front of the DVR do not respond to the remote, restart your
DVR by unplugging it, waiting 15 seconds, then plugging it back in.
• See the inside front cover of the Viewer's Guide for more about
the TiVo remote.
I have a question about Guided Setup.
• If you’re stuck at any point during Guided Setup, consult the
Troubleshooting chapter of the Viewer’s Guide or visit
