Basic terms. The following are definitions of some basic terms used in this guide:
DVR. Your Pioneer DVD Recorder with TiVo is both a TiVo Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and a DVD recorder. Because they refer to those features of the Recorder that are part of the TiVo service (either TiVo Basic or TiVo Plus service), the Privacy Policy and Service Agreements (page 147) use the term DVR to refer to the Recorder.
Live TV. If you’re watching a program as it’s being broadcast, you’re watching live TV. With TiVo, you can also watch recorded programs or watch “behind” live TV (for example: if you pause live TV, then come back later and watch from the paused spot). Icons. These are graphic symbols used by the TiVo service to provide information about options you can select. You’ll find a glossary of icons on the inside back cover. Program Information screen. With TiVo Basic, you see Program Information screens when you select titles in Now Playing or the To Do List. From the Program Information screen, you can select actions and view a description of the program. With TiVo Plus, the Program Information screen is available whenever you select a program from a list.
Service Terms. This User’s Guide refers to both the TiVo Basic service and the TiVo Plus service. For purposes of convenience only, the term“TiVo service” is sometimes used to refer to information that applies to both TiVo Basic and TiVo Plus.
