Helpful Hints
(see the Viewer's Guide for more information)
Phone
What if your phone jack isn’t close to the TiVo DVR? Use the included 25-foot phone cord to complete
Guided Setup. Afterwards, you’ll be able to connect your DVR to a home network and use a shared
broadband Internet connection instead of a phone line to make connections to the TiVo service. See the
TiVo Viewer’s Guide for details.

Having trouble with the Guided Setup phone calls? Go back to the Phone Dialing Options screen and try
these steps: If you have call waiting, take out any prefix you inserted. Turn off dial tone detection. Turn off
phone availability detection. (See the TiVo Viewer’s Guide for details.)

If you need to use your phone while a Guided Setup call is in progress, pick up the phone, hang up, and
wait about 45 seconds. When you pick up the phone again, the line should be free. You can complete

Channels
During Guided Setup, you select a channel lineup. A channel
lineup is the set of channels you subscribe to–like “Digital
Extended Basic” or “DIRECTV-Boston, MA.” If you aren’t sure
of your lineup, check your channel lineup card, your cable bill,
or make your best guess. Guided Setup includes a Channels
You Receive screen where you can check to make sure that
channel numbers shown match your lineup. If your guess was
wrong, go back and select a different lineup.
