Your TiVo Remote to the left, or Remote Control Settings in Chapter 5.
Press the TiVo button once to go to the TiVo Central® screen, or twice to go to

Press LIVE TV to switch between tuners. See page 3 for more about watching
live TV with dual tuner.

Press GUIDE to see the TiVo program guide, then press INFO (while the guide

CHAN UP/DOWN does more than change the channel—it also pages up or
down through lists of programs or menu items.
When you’re watching “behind” live TV (for example, if you pause live TV and
later resume watching from the paused spot), ADVANCE ® catches
you up to the live broadcast. In a recorded program, press it once to jump
to the end of the program, then again to jump to the beginning. Also, use
ADVANCE to enter a dash for channel numbers that contain a dash.
If programmed, the DVR Switch lets you control two different TiVo® Digital
Video Recorders (DVRs) with the same remote. See Chapter 5.

Push the battery door at its point, near the center of the back of the remote, to open.
