Channel Scan; Signal Strength - TiVo Premiere Manual

Channel Scan

If you have an antenna connected to your TiVo Premiere, channel scanning identifies all the
channels that the antenna is currently receiving.
Any scanned channel for which the TiVo Premiere has received no program guide information
is marked with an asterisk ( * ) in the channel list.
Digital antenna channels (also known as ATSC channels) are often represented with a dash. For
example, a digital version of local channel 9 might be channel 9-1. Multiple digital versions of
local digital antenna channels may be available: 9-2, 9-3, etc.

Signal Strength

Use the Signal Strength screens to test the incoming signal on specific digital channels.
Signal Strength - Antenna The signal strength meter can help you make adjustments to your
antenna position to optimize the reception of antenna channels.
Signal Strength - Cable The signal strength meter can also help diagnose cable signal issues. For
example, adding multiple RF splitters to your RF cable source (the cable coming from the wall)
can result in reduced signal strength on some channels. Use the meter to check signal strength
with and without splitters.
Video Provider List
Note: This setting is available only if you're using TiVo with HD menus.
Use the Video Provider List to select the video providers (like Netflix, Blockbuster, or Amazon)
that you would like included in your results when browsing and searching for TV shows and
movies.
You can also press THUMBS UP to mark a video provider as a favorite.
Settings
Signals received via antenna are
subject to weather conditions and
®
other environmental factors, so the
availability of certain channels may vary.
This means that you may see channels
appear and disappear from the channel list
each time you perform a channel scan.
