External Storage - TiVo BOLT Series Viewer's Manual

Note: Not sure if your remote is paired? When a remote is paired with a TiVo box, the remote's activity light
flashes amber when you press a remote button. When a remote is not paired, the activity light flashes red.
UNPAIRING YOUR REMOTE (TO USE IT WITH A DIFFERENT TIVO BOX)
To pair the remote with a different box, you must first unpair it with the current box, then pair it with the new
one. Note that this process will reset the remote completely, so you will need to repeat setup of the remote's
programmable buttons (TV power, volume, mute). To unpair the remote:
1. Hold down the POWER and TiVo buttons at the same time until the activity light flashes.
2. Press THUMBS DOWN three times.
3. Press ENTER.

CABLECARD DECODER
This screen is typically used only during CableCARD installation. It is not applicable to the TiVo Roamio OTA.
A CableCARD decoder receives encrypted digital cable programming and decodes it for display on your TV
without the need for a cable box. The CableCARD decoder plugs into a compartment on the underside of the
DVR.
A CableCARD decoder is available only from your cable company and additional fees may apply from your
cable company. It replaces your digital cable box, and allows you to receive the same programming channels in
your subscription. To watch and record digital cable programming, you must install one Multi-Stream
CableCARD decoder (M-CARD). This one card will let you watch and record multiple shows at once.
Note: TiVo Roamio boxes do not receive analog channels. The TiVo Roamio Plus and Pro do not receive
over-the-air programming, and will not work with an over-the-air antenna.

NAME THIS DVR
Set or change the name of your TiVo box. You can choose from a list of suggested names or create your own.
NETWORK REMOTE CONTROL
You can integrate your TiVo box, home automation, and entertainment control devices on your network. These
devices include touch panel remotes and other devices that are configured to work with TiVo's network-based
remote control protocol. This setting will be enabled by your home entertainment or automation installer.
TUNING ADAPTER
If your cable provider uses a technology called switched digital video (SDV), you will need a tuning adapter in
order for your TiVo box to receive all channels in your subscription package. Please contact your cable provider
if you are not sure whether you need a tuning adapter.
For more information on tuning adapters and switched digital video, please visit tivo.com/switched.
POWER SAVING SETTINGS
When you're not using your TiVo box, you can save power by letting the box go into Standby mode. Selecting a
higher power saving setting means that the box will enter Standby sooner and that TiVo Suggestions may not
record while the box is in standby. Scheduled recordings, transfers, and downloads will not be affected,
regardless of your power savings setting.
Off The TiVo box will never enter Standby.
Low The TiVo box will enter Standby after four hours. TiVo Suggestions will be recorded while the box is in
Standby.
Medium The TiVo box will enter Standby after four hours. TiVo Suggestions will not be recorded while the box
is in Standby.
