QUICK TOUR - THE TIVO CENTRAL
SCREEN
The TiVo Central screen is the starting point for just about everything you do with your TiVo box. From the TiVo
Central screen, you can access all your recorded shows and streaming videos, find new shows, explore great
video on demand and app choices, and more. On DVRs, you can also manage upcoming recordings and
OnePass selections.
Note: Your TiVo Mini must be connected to a host DVR to watch live TV and view your My Shows list — a list of
all the shows available for streaming to your TiVo Mini!
To get to the TiVo Central screen from live TV or any TiVo screen, just press the TiVo button at the top of your
remote control.
THE VIDEO WINDOW
(Not applicable to TiVo Mini.)
The Video Window is located in the upper right corner of the TiVo Central screen and most other TiVo menu
screens, unless you choose to turn it off or temporarily hide it. The Video Window continues playing the show
that was playing when you entered the TiVo Central screen.
Press PAUSE- the round button in the center of your remote - to pause the Video Window, and press PAUSE
again to resume playing.
To temporarily hide the Video Window, press SLOW - the button just below the PAUSE button on your remote.
Press SLOW again to restore the Video Window.
If you'd rather permanently turn off the Video Window, from the TiVo Central screen, move down to 'Settings &
Messages,' then press SELECT. You will move to the Settings & Messages sub-menu. Move down to select 'User
Preferences,' and then move down to select 'Video Window.'

DISCOVERY BAR

The Discovery Bar is the bar of thumbnail images across the top of most TiVo menu screens. What shows up in
the Discovery Bar depends on you! Often, the Discovery Bar displays ideas for show you might like based on
what shows you record and mark as your favorites. It also displays lots of other great viewing options: popular
shows or sports events that are playing on live TV, items from your My Shows list, TiVo Suggestions, new video
on demand shows, and more!
Press the UP arrow - at the top of the circle just below the TiVo button - to move up to the Discovery Bar, then
press the LEFT and RIGHT arrows - on the left and right of the circle below the TiVo button - to move around.
Press SELECT - the round button at the center of the arrows circle - on an item that interests you to open an
information screen about that item.
