Watching and Recording Two Shows At Once
The TiVo® Series3TM HD DVR is capable of recording two different live TV channels at the
same time—one on each of its 2 tuners. Go ahead, try it:
1. First, press PAUSE to pause the live TV program you’re watching.
2. Press LIVE TV to switch to the other tuner. (It’s just like changing the channel.)
3. Watch the program for a few moments, then press PAUSE .
4. Press LIVE TV again to switch back to the first tuner. Notice that the first program
you were watching is still paused. You can pause for up to 30 minutes on each tuner!
Press PLAY to continue watching the program.
Now you really can watch two programs at the same time! Press RECORD while watching
either tuner—or on both tuners to record two programs at the same time.
Changing Channels
• Press LIVE TV to switch to the other tuner. Changing channels works the same way no
matter which tuner you’re watching.
• To go to a specific channel, use the numbers on your remote control, then press ENTER. (If
you don’t press ENTER, the channel changes automatically after a few seconds.)
• Some digital antenna channels use a dash in the channel number. Press to enter a dash.
• To jump back to the previous channel on the same tuner, press ENTER.
• To move one channel at a time, press CHAN UP/DOWN on the TiVo remote.
• Tired of channel surfing? Press GUIDE to display the program guide. Move the highlight to
any program and press SELECT. If the program is on now, the channel changes. If the
program is on later, you’ll see options to record that program. Learn more on page 31.
The TiVo Series3 HD DVR can record
two different channels at the same
time depending on your TV programming
source.
If your programming source is digital cable,
you must have two CableCARDTM decoders
installed to record two digital cable channels
at the same time.
If you haven’t yet installed CableCARD
decoders,call your cable company today. See
the Start Here poster for more about
CableCARD decoders.
