Dialing Format. Choose how you want the recorder to dial the dial-in number. (For
example: should the dial-in number be preceded by your area code and should a "1"
precede the area code?) In some areas, local numbers must be dialed using the area code.
Satellite Providers. If you subscribe to additional
local channels for your city or a nearby city from
DIRECTV, choose the DIRECTV option
followed by the city name from which you get
your local channels (e.g., DIRECTV-Boston).
Cable Providers. Cable companies may have
entries with very similar names, and it may be
difficult to know which is yours. Check your
channel lineup card (received during cable
installation) or your cable bill. If you still aren't sure, make your best guess. Check your
guess on the Channels You Receive screen (see page 5). If you still don't see your
provider, go back and verify that you entered the correct zip code.
Cable Lineups. A lineup is the type of subscription you purchased from your cable
company. Lineups usually have names like "Basic" or "Extended Basic." Your cable bill
may have this information. If you still aren't sure, make your best guess. You should then
check your guess on the Channels You Receive screen (see page 5).
"Rebuild" is a term TiVo uses to refer to a revised channel lineup. Usually you would be
informed by your cable company that your lineup has been revised.
If you have a cable A/B system, you can pick only A or B to watch with your recorder.
Check your Installation Guide for information about splitting your signal in order to
watch the other channels.
