How do I watch one channel and record another?
In this setup, your cable signal is split and sent to two different devices: your cable box
and your TV. Keep in mind that you can only receive basic cable channels on the signal
that goes from the splitter to your TV.
• To watch live TV on one channel while the DMS records another, use your TV's
remote to change channels. Because this signal does not pass through the DMS, it has
no TiVo service functionality (so you can't pause or rewind live TV).
• To watch video from the DMS again, press the TiVo button on the DMS remote, then
press the Input, Source, or TV/Video button on your TV remote or TV until you see
TiVo Central
