Questions About Live TV

Can I watch a program while it is being recorded?

•Yes, you can watch a program as it is being recorded; you can even start watching from the beginning while the rest of the program is recorded! You can also watch any program stored in Now Playing while another program is being recorded.

The Channel Banner always says “To be announced.”

•Your Recorder may not have enough program information. Make sure the Recorder has recently connected to the TiVo service to keep its program information current—using either a phone or broadband connection. Look on the Phone & Network screen (from TiVo Central, select Messages & Setup, then Settings, then Phone & Network) for the time of the last successful connection.
