Note
Antenna users: TiVo uses the channel lineup of
a nearby cable system to determine which
channels you receive. If there is no cable
company that serves your Zip Code, enter the
Zip Code of a nearby community. TiVo will
automatically make sure the channel numbers
are correct for the broadcast stations.

Guided Setup
Step-by-Step Instructions
Guided Setup walks you through the steps necessary for your particular programming
source (antenna, cable, satellite, etc.) and equipment configuration. Depending
upon your program source, you may not encounter all of the Guided
Setup screens.
Program Source. The first step is to specify what kind of television programming
source you have. If you have more than one source of programming (for example, both
satellite and cable), you can choose that here. Press the UP/DOWN arrows on the
Remote Control to highlight your program source(s), then press SELECT to choose
that option and move to the next screen. If you have a cable A/B system, you can only
pick one to watch with your SVR Recorder. See "Connecting Your Equipment" on
pages 15–39 for information about splitting your signal in order to watch the other
channels.
Cable Box. If you chose cable as your program source, do you have a set-top cable
box, or does your cable come straight out of your wall and into your TV?
Satellite Connection. If you chose satellite as your programming source, did you
connect the control cable to a serial jack on the back of your satellite set-top box, or
did you use the IR Control cable? A serial connection is preferable, if your satellite
box has a serial jack available.
