Guided Setup
Once you’ve connected your SVR Recorder, the next step is to set up and activate the
TiVo Service. Guided Setup will take 20 minutes, plus 2–3 hours of processing time.
Depending upon your program source (antenna, cable, or satellite), Guided Setup will
present you with sequential screens that you’ll respond to, step-by-step. Generally
speaking, the more sophisticated your system, the more steps you’ll complete.
During Guided Setup, the recorder will make two phone calls to the TiVo Service. If
you need to use the phone during either of these calls, simply pick up the telephone and
the SVR Recorder will hang up. The SVR Recorder will have to redo that phone call,
so try to run Guided Setup at a time when you won’t need to use the phone for a while
and when you don’t need the TV to watch your favorite program.
Navigating in Setup
You’ll be using the navigation arrows and the SELECT
button on the Remote Control to go through the Guided
Setup sequence. As you do, you’ll encounter lists with
multiple choice items. The blue highlight bar moves from
item to item as you press the UP and DOWN arrows on the
Remote Control. Once you’ve identified what you want to do, move the blue highlight
bar to your selection and press the SELECT button to confirm your choice.
Notice the on-screen arrows that move with the highlight bar. These arrows indicate the
possible paths you may take from your current location. If you don’t see a down arrow
at the bottom of a list, there are no more elements in that direction. If you make a
mistake, you can go back to a prior screen and fix it using the LEFT ARROW. You can
also change or add to your setup information later without doing the complete Guided
Setup process. Refer to your TiVo Viewer’s Guide for details.

Notes
• Although your part of the setup process
won’t take much time at all, once the second
call begins, the SVR Recorder will be
processing data for 2–3 hours. You may
want to initiate setup just before bedtime so
the SVR Recorder can work while you sleep.
