If you change video sources, for
example, by changing from cable to
satellite service, you should repeat
Guided Setup (go to Messages & Setup,
then Restart or Reset System, then
Repeat Guided Setup).
Your recorder should NOT be used
with a digital PBX phone system.
Doing so may permanently damage your
recorder's modem and will void your
warranty. See your Installation Guide for

Recorder & Phone Setup
Cable/Satellite Box
Select Cable/Satellite Box if you want to change the connection of your cable or satellite
box to the recorder—for example, if you decide to replace a Composite cable connection
with an S-Video connection. You should also select this if you want to change the way
your cable box is set up to interact with the recorder. For example, if you buy a new cable
box, you can find the correct IR codes for changing channels on your new cable box with
your TiVo remote here.
Connection to Recorder. Select this if you change the cables you use to connect your
cable or satellite box to the recorder. The next screen you see depends on whether you
have one or two video sources. For details on getting through these Connection to
Recorder screens, see page 7.
Cable Channel Changing, Satellite Channel Changing, or Channel Changing. (The
name of this selection changes depending on the video source to your recorder.) Use this
selection if you change the type of control cable (IR or Serial) you use to change channels
on your cable or satellite box, or if your cable or satellite box is replaced by another make
or model.
Phone Connection
The recorder makes a brief daily phone call to get updates to the TiVo service; program
information for the TiVo Live Guide, Search by Title, WishList searches, and updates to
TiVolution Magazine and Showcases. The recorder usually uses the phone for less than
ten minutes for a daily call. You may receive service updates to your recorder from time to
time. In such cases, it may take longer, but this happens rarely (a few times a year).
