Basic Terms

When we talk about the TiVo service, here are some terms you 
should know:

 If you’re watching a program as it’s being broadcast, 

you’re watching live TV. With the TiVo service, you can pause 
live TV for up to 30 minutes. When you resume watching, 
you’re “behind” live TV.

 When you select a program (from the Now 

Playing List or a list of upcoming programs), you’ll see a screen 
with information about the program and actions you can take. 

and Home Media Features. If your 

DVR is connected to a home network with broadband Internet 
access, you’ll enjoy a wide variety of additional features. See 
Tour Five on page 10 for more.
