This screen appears while the Receiver tests the phone
dialing options and local dial-in number you have chosen. You should see a message
that says "Test Successful!" Press SELECT or RIGHT arrow to continue. If the phone
test does not succeed, you may need to pick a different dial-in number, or change the
dialing format. Use the LEFT arrow to go back to previous screens and make changes
to dialing options.
You've completed Guided Setup. You can now press the TiVo
button on your remote control to go to TiVo Central, or the DIRECTV button to go to
the DIRECTV Menu. You can change your setup options from either of these menus.
Your Receiver should remain connected to your
satellite dish and plugged in to a live power source and a phone line at all times. This
lets it record programs, make daily phone calls, and keep its data up-to-date. It doesn't
have an on/off switch; it stays on so it can always be recording great shows.
If you take your Receiver with you to a location without
satellite access—for example, on a weekend get-away to a cabin in the Peaceful
Woods—you will still be able to connect it to a television and watch previously
recorded programs. After completing Guided Setup one time, whenever you plug the
Receiver in it will search for a satellite signal. When you see the message "Acquiring
Satellite Information," you can press the TiVo button on the remote control (don't
forget the remote!) to avoid going through Guided Setup a second time. If you start
your Receiver without properly connecting it to a DIRECTV satellite signal, the
Receiver will not show live TV or provide any live TV functions, but you can still
watch programs you have previously recorded.
Now that you are finished with Guided Setup, you're ready to have fun with
your Receiver! We suggest you start with the five short tours in the next chapter.
