Basic Steps
After you connect your recorder, the next steps are to complete Guided Setup—which
takes about 35 minutes—and activate the TiVo service. (For more information about
connecting your recorder, see the Start Here booklet and the Installation Guide.)
• Guided Setup is easy. The Guided Setup screens step you through the process. If you
get stuck, look for tips and troubleshooting in this chapter. (You may not see all the
screens described here, or you may see them in a different order, depending on your
equipment.)
If you make a mistake during Guided Setup, simply press LEFT arrow to go back and
fix it. You can also change your setup information later in Messages & Setup. (See
Chapter 5 for details.)
• Guided Setup is intelligent. In Guided Setup, you tell your recorder your program
source (antenna, cable, or satellite) and equipment setup. Then the steps change
depending on how you have set up your recorder.
• Guided Setup requires two phone calls. Try to complete Guided Setup when you
don’t need the phone.
After completing Guided Setup, you can watch live TV and use TiVo service features to
control live TV. You will have to wait a few hours while the recorder organizes
information before you can set up your Season Passes and search for programs (see page 7
for details).

If you need to use the phone during
either of the setup phone calls, pick
up your telephone, then hang it up and
wait a few seconds. The recorder will hang
up, and the next time you pick the phone
up there will be a dial tone. You will need
to re-initiate the phone calls later.
