| | To configure your DVR to control your cable or satellite box, perform the following steps: |
| |  You can set up IR control of your cable or satellite box either during or after completing Guided Setup. If you are currently in Guided Setup, start with Step 6.
|
| | If you are outside of Guided Setup, begin here: |
| |  Go to the Channel Changing screen on your DVR. From TiVo Central, select Messages & Settings; then Settings; then Channels; then Channel Changing.
|
| | |
| |  You will receive a warning message on this screen indicating that programs will not record while you are changing this setting. Choose OK, Access This Setting.
|
| | |
| | 
|
| |  Next, you will be asked if you still have the same cable or satellite box. Answer that question appropriately. If you are using the same satellite or cable box, continue with Step 4. If you have a new cable or satellite box, you will need to select the manufacturer of your cable or satellite box, select IR control, and then continue with Step 6.
|
| | |
| | 
|
| |  If you are using a cable or satellite box that supports serial control, you will receive a screen asking if you want to continue using IR control. Choose Yes continue using IR cable.
|
| | |
| | 
|
| |  On the Channel Changing Setup screen, highlight Recommended Setup and press SELECT.
|
| | |
| | 
|
| | Continue with Steps 6 – 11 below. |
| | If you are currently in Guided Setup, begin here: |
| |  Proceed until you see the Confirm IR Hookup screen. Select OK, I’m sure the IR cable is hooked up correctly.
|
| | |
| | 
|
| |  If you are setting up control for a cable box, you will see the Cable Channel Digits screen. Select the appropriate setting for your cable box. You may need to try changing channels on your cable box with the remote that came with your cable box to find the correct setting.
|
| | |
| | 
|
| |  You will now see the Cable “Enter” Button or Satellite “Enter” Button screen. Select the appropriate setting for your cable box. You may need to try changing channels on your cable box with the remote that came with your cable box to find the correct setting.
|
| | |
| | 
|
| |  The next screen is called Channel Changing Tests. Read the instructions on this page and press SELECT.
|
| | |
| | 
|
| |  Continue through each of the test screens. These screens allow your DVR to determine the best way to control your cable or satellite box. Make sure to reach each screen carefully and answer each question the best that you can. If the tests are not successful, follow the on-screen troubleshooting and then try the tests again.
|
| | |
| |  If you are not able to find a code that works during the IR code tests, check the positioning of your IR by referring to How do I Verify my IR cable connections? If you are still not able to change channels using IR control, refer to Advanced troubleshooting for channel changing with IR control.
