Channel List

This is the list of channels provided by your TV programming source (antenna, cable, or 
satellite). The DVR uses this list to determine which channels to display in the guide and which 
channels are available for recording programs. Features such as Search by Title, and WishList

TM

 

searches look for programs only on channels selected on this channel list.

• Channels You Receive. The Channel List screen displays the complete list of channels 

available in the channel lineup you selcted during Guided Setup. You may not actually 
receive or subscribe to some of these channels, or you may not wish to display them in the 
guide, or search for programs on them.

Create a customized list of channels by pressing SELECT on each channel you want. A 
square yellow check mark appears next to each channel you select. Press SELECT again to 
remove the check mark. The list of selected channels is your Channels You Receive list.

• Favorite Channels. Use Favorite Channels for channels you watch frequently. Include only a 

few channels in this list, so that you can quickly look at what’s coming up on them using the 
guide. See “Customizing the Guide” on page 32.

To indicate your Favorite Channels, press THUMBS UP

 on each channel you want.

If your channel list is incorrect, you can change your channel lineup by repeating parts of 
Guided Setup. From the Channel List, press ENTER to display the Change Channel Lineup 
screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to change your channel lineup.

If there is a change to your cable or 

satellite subscription package, a TiVo 

message will inform you. Use Channel 

Settings to ensure that your Channel List 

reflects the change to your lineup.
