Channel Banner. Normally, when you change channels, a Channel Banner is displayed for a few seconds. If you want the channel banner to disappear quickly, select “Clear banner quickly.”

Channel Changing. Use this selection if you change the type of control cable (IR or Serial) you use to change channels on your cable or satellite box, or if your cable or satellite box is replaced by another make or model. These screens are described on page 6.

Channels You Receive. The Channels You Receive list starts with all the channels included in your service package. It can be customized to include only channels you actually subscribe to and to reflect your viewing preferences. (For example, if you never watch a channel and don’t plan to set up any recordings on it, or let the TiVo service search for programs on it, you can de-select it here.) Your Recorder uses this customized “channel list” to decide which channels the TiVo Live Guide displays.

To set up a custom channel list:

1.From the Channel Settings screen, select Channels You Receive. A checkmark appears to the left of channels that are part of the selected list.

2.To remove or add a channel, highlight it and press SELECT. (You can speed through the list with CHAN UP/DOWN. To go directly to a specific channel, press the number buttons, then press ENTER.)

3.Your changes are saved automatically. Press LEFT or RIGHT arrow to return to the Channel Settings screen.

VCR Plus+ Channels. You must set up VCR Plus+ channels in order to make recordings using the PlusCode programming number. Look in your local TV listings to find out which VCR Plus+ Guide channels are used in your area. For each applicable VCR Plus+
