Guided Setup

As standard your TiVo is setup to use just the five standard channels:
BBC1, BBC2 , ITV , C4 and FIVE

You can however, set and record all freeview, freesat, sky or cable channels with the addition of the appropriate set top box connected via SCART cable

You simply run Guided Setup on your tivo to tell the tivo which service and which set top box (STB) you are using.

The following procedure takes about 30 minutes, and you will NOT lose any recordings or season passes in the process!

	Press SELECT on the MESSAGES & SETUP menu
Press SELECT on the SYSTEM RESET menu Looks frightening - don't worry!
	Press SELECT on the REPEAT GUIDED SETUP menu
Press three THUMBS DOWN and ENTER to confirm
	Just press SELECT here
Press SELECT
	You can change the aerial output here, but this can easily be done later, just press SELECT
STOP! Read this page carefully This is where you choose freeview / cable or sky Freeview: AERIAL & DIGITAL CABLE/ DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL VM Cable: AERIAL & DIGITAL CABLE/ DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL Sky / FreeSat: AERIAL & DIGITAL SATTELLITE Note option 3 and 5 are not normally used.
	This is where you put in your postcode, so tivo knows which channels are local (e.g. BBC1 North West)
Put in any prefix if you need it...
	Connect the phone lead before pressing SELECT
Go and have a cup of tea, as this bit takes a while!
	Choose which service you use...
Just press SELECT here, you can always change the appropriate channels later.
	Tivo is scanning for aerial channels here this can take a long time, especially if you don't have an aerial connected!
Choose the channels you are subscribed to here, or just press RIGHT to move on to the next screen ( you can always do this bit later, and you are STRONGLY advised NOT to click "add all channels", as tivo will show many channels you can't receive, leading to failed recordings)
	Choose your make and model of set top box here.
Usually just press SELECT here
	Press SELECT
If you are using the InfraRed wands on a lead that plugs into the back of the tivo, then choose NO here The "front blaster" is behind the green led on the front of your tivo It can control a STB by bouncing the IR signal round, but generally the wired wands work better.
	If using the IR wands, make sure its connected to the bottom socket, as there are two identical holes at the back.
Just press SELECT here
	Choose the appropriate code for your STB here
You may see this screen if your STB isn't connected to the AUX scart, or isn't turned on. You can still proceed by quickly pressing LEFT/RIGHT if you want to connect it later
	Press SELECT for tivo to download the EPG guide data
This page can take a long time, another cuppa?

Press SELECT here
	Press TIVO button here Depending on when you last did a daily call, it may be several hours before you can set season passes and wishlists but you can set recordings from the EPG straightaway.
