Program your TiVo remote control

remoteYour TiVo® remote can work with the other devices in your entertainment system! Control power, volume, and mute on your TV; volume and mute on your A/V receiver (stereo system); and input selection on your TV — all from your TiVo remote!

This feature is available on:

  • All TiVo boxes

Program your remote

Follow these steps to program your remote:

  1. From the TiVo Central screen, select 'Settings & Messages.'
  2. Choose ‘Remote, CableCARD, & Devices’
  3. Choose 'Remote Control Setup.'
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to program your remote:
    • Complete Part 1 to control your TV’s power, volume, and mute functions.
    • Complete Part 2 to control your A/V system.
    • Complete part 3 to control your TV’s input function (e.g., to switch between your TiVo box and other devices connected to your TV, like a DVD player or game console).
    • Complete part 4 to customize the behavior of the remote’s ADVANCE and REPLAY buttons.
    • Complete part 5 if you ever need to pair your TiVo BOLT® (all models), TiVo Roamio® (all models), or Slide Pro remote with your TiVo box to use RF functionality.
