TiVo CI_Install_0327_1.0 manual Installing an antenna, Installing a tuning adapter optional

Installing an antenna:

Connecting an Over-The-Air (OTA) antenna:

(2-turner Premiere only):

TiVoPro Tip:

When picking an antenna as a primary video source, the amplitude and design of an antenna as well as the distance and direction of your OTA signals ultimately determines channel selection. To determine the above information, visit antennaweb.org.

Installing a tuning adapter (optional):

Atuning adapter is a small set-top box that provides two-way capabilities, so a TiVo DVR can transmit channel requests to the cable head-end. (Does not support cable VOD.) In some areas, installing a tuning adapter is required in order to receive broadcasting from a local cable company. The tuning adapter must be compliant with the CableCARD(s) issued for a customer’s account. Please see the diagram below for wiring configuration.

TiVoPro Tip:

The branding on the M-CARD will more than likely match the branding on the tuning adapter, confirming their compatibility in most cases.

Complete Guided Setup:

Guided Setup will automatically run the first time you power up the TiVo Premiere series box. The Guided Setup allows configuration of networking and connectivity and automatically updates the operating system software and program guide information. You can repeat Guided setup by going to: TiVo Central (TiVo button) > Messages & Settings > Help > Restart or Reset System > Repeat Guided Setup.

1.Begin Guided Setup: Review service terms, activate service (if necessary), select your country and video output, and enter your ZIP or postal code.

NOTE: Boxes purchased from the TiVo.com store always come pre-activated. If the box was purchased at a retail store or distributor, you can activate it online at www.tivo.com/activate.

2.Choose TV programming source: Choose cable only if you are using basic cable or CableCARDs. Choose cable & antenna if you are using basic cable or CableCARDs and a digital antenna. Choose antenna only if you are only using a digital antenna as your programming source.

IMPORTANT: Only the 2-tuner Premiere supports antenna. You will not see all these options on Premiere 4 and XL4.

3.When prompted, install the CableCARD. If you already have a Cable CARD, install it, then call the cable provider to activate it, and then test the channels. If you are waiting to pick up a CableCARD from the cable company office, or you are not going to use CableCARDs, follow the prompts to continue without CableCARDs. Once you recieve the CableCARD, insert it in the back and follow the onscreen prompts.

(if using Cable or Cable & Antenna), and set up channels.

The box has one day of Guide data, but will soon make an additional connection to the TiVo Service to get the full 14 days of Guide data. This completes the DVR setup. Next, you can proceed to configure web entertainment services (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, etc.) using on-screen menus and consider adding accessories to further enhance the entertainment experience.
