TiVo®DVR/Mini Quick Guide
USING THIS GUIDE
Thank you for choosing the TiVo experience from Cogeco. The
quick tours in this guide describe features of the TiVo Service from
Cogeco running on the following TiVo devices:
The TiVo digital video recorder (DVR) has
six tuners and a hard drive allowing you to
pause and rewind live TV. You can record six shows in HD
simultaneously. You can watch five live TV shows at the same time.
The TiVo Mini set-top box (STB) is a tuner-less, all-
purpose companion to your TiVo DVR (the TiVo Mini
uses your home network to “borrow” a tuner from a
connected TiVo DVR). With the TiVo Mini, you can watch live TV,
search and browse for shows, watch shows saved on your TiVo
DVR, enjoy Cogeco On Demand, and more. You can even start
watching a show in one room and finish it in another!
Note: Most of this guide applies to using the TiVo Service from
Cogeco on TiVo DVRs and Minis. Any specific service differences
between the TiVo DVR and the TiVo Mini are noted. For
information on the TiVo HD Receiver, visit cogeco.ca/tivoservice/
support.
BASIC TERMS
When we talk about the TiVo Service from Cogeco, here are some
terms you should know:
Live TV. If you’re watching a show as it’s being broadcast, you’re
watching live TV. You can pause live TV for up to 30 minutes. When
you resume watching, you’re “behind” live TV. (You can always get
to live TV by pressing the Live TV button on your TiVo remote
control.)
Multi-tuner. A tuner is a device found inside DVRs, TVs, cable
boxes — anything designed to receive TV signals, including the
TiVo DVR. A tuner picks one channel to display; it “tunes” to that
channel. The TiVo DVR has multiple tuners inside and it can
simultaneously record different shows on the different tuners
(pressing the Live TV button on your TiVo remote will switch
among the tuners). See Watching multiple shows at once for more
information about switching tuners.
Streaming. Streaming means watching a video directly from
another device or streaming app; there’s no need to transfer or
download it first. With the TiVo DVR, you can stream shows to your
TiVo Mini, or to a mobile device (like an iPhone, iPad, or iPod
Touch). And, you can stream shows to your TiVo DVR and TiVo
Mini from online sources like Netflix and Cogeco On Demand.
Host/Client. When your TiVo DVR streams shows to the TiVo Mini,
the DVR is a “host.” The TiVo Mini, as the device receiving the
shows, is the “client.”
TiVo Service from Cogeco. If the TiVo DVR (or TiVo Mini) is the
body, the TiVo Service from Cogeco is the brains! The program

information provided by the TiVo Service from Cogeco powers the
program guide, allowing you to search for shows, and more.
Searching for shows (and more!) for more information.
CableCARDTM Decoder. A CableCARD decoder allows your TiVo
DVR to receive digital cable channels without a cable box. Your
TiVo DVR comes with the CableCARD already installed. You
should not remove the CableCARD at any time.

TiVo®DVR/Mini Quick Guide
QUICK TOUR – THE TIVO CENTRAL®
SCREEN
YOUR STARTING POINT FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING!
The TiVo Central screen is the starting point for just about everything you do with your TiVo
box. From the TiVo Central screen, you can see a list of all your recorded shows and/or
streaming videos, find new shows to watch, explore great video-on-demand choices, and
more.
To get to the TiVo Central screen from live TV or any TiVo screen, just press the TiVo button
at the top of your TiVo remote control. Use the Up , Down , Left , and
Right arrows on the remote to move around, then press the Select button on an
option that interests you.
THE VIDEO WINDOW
The Video Window is located in the upper right corner of the TiVo Central screen and most
other TiVo menu screens, unless you choose to turn it off or temporarily hide it. The Video
Window continues playing the show you were watching when you entered the TiVo Central
screen.
On DVRs and Minis, you can press the Pause button on your TiVo remote to pause
what’s playing in the Video Window, and press Pause again to resume playing.
To temporarily hide the Video Window, press the Slow button . Press Slow again to
restore the Video Window.
If you’d rather permanently turn off the Video Window, from the TiVo Central screen select
“Settings & Messages,” then “User Preferences,” then “Video Window.”
To return your show to full
screen from TiVo Central or any
other TiVo menu screen, just
press the Zoom button on your
TiVo remote.

TiVo®DVR/Mini Quick Guide
DISCOVERY BAR
The Discovery Bar is the bar of images across the top of the TiVo Central screen and many
other TiVo menu screens. What you’ll see in the Discovery Bar depends on you! Often, the
Discovery Bar displays ideas for shows you might like based on what shows you record and
mark as your favourites. For example, if you record the show “The Voice,” the Discovery Bar
might display thumbnails for other shows, like “So You Think You Can Dance.” It all
depends on what you’re interested in and what’s available to you.
The Discovery Bar also displays lots of other great viewing options: popular shows or sports
events that are playing on live TV, items from your My Shows list, TiVo Suggestions, new
Cogeco On Demand shows, and more!
Press the Up arrow to move up to the Discovery Bar, then the Left and Right
arrows to move around. Press the Select button on an image that interests you to open
an information screen about that item.
WHAT TO WATCH NOW
“What to Watch Now” sorts through all of your channels and video provider offerings to
show you a list what’s available right now. Choose from popular live TV shows, live sports
events, movies, and more! Just select “What to Watch Now” to get started. (You can also
select “What to Watch Now” from your My Shows list.)
. . . AND MORE!
From the TiVo Central screen, you can find shows, manage upcoming recordings (if
applicable), and explore a variety of apps available on your TiVo box. You’ll learn more
about many of these options later in this Guide, but remember — it all starts from TiVo
Central.

My Shows list from any menu screen or from live TV, just press the TiVo button twice.

space. See Quick tour – OnePass™ searches to learn more about OnePass.
Note: Deleting a show on your TiVo Mini will delete it from the host TiVo DVR.
AVAILABLE SPACE
On DVRs, a small bar underneath the words “My Shows” on the My Shows screen lets you
know how much space you have available for new recordings on your TiVo DVR. If you don’t
want to see the amount of space used, press the button and choose the option to turn
it off.

Note: When the “Kids” category is turned on, kids shows and movies will appear only in
that category. (For example, you’ll find kids movies under “Kids,” not under “Movies.”)
MY SHOWS FOLDERS
Shows are organised into folders, and a number in parentheses to the right of each folder
shows how many items it contains.You’ll see the following folders:
•OnePass folders (one per series): Each OnePass search you create will have a folder in
My Shows containing all available episodes. To learn how to view available episodes
only, see Sorting and filtering shows.
•Streaming Movies: Contains links to movies that are available to stream. See Quick tour
– Streaming videos to learn more.
•TiVo Suggestions: If you have auto-recording of Suggestions turned on, any recorded
Suggestions appear here.
•WishList® searches: If your WishList searches are set to auto-record, any matches will
be added to a WishList folder.
•Currently Unavailable Contains links to streaming videos that are not currently
available from any of your video providers. When items become available, they will be
moved to the appropriate My Shows category.
When you highlight the group
name and press the Play

TiVo®DVR/Mini Quick Guide
•Recently Deleted Recordings Contains recently deleted recordings that are available
for recovery.
A show’s title may appear in more than one group. When you delete a show in one folder,
the title also disappears from any other group.
SEASON SELECTOR
If a OnePass group contains more than one season and more than 30 episodes, a season
selector will be displayed at the top of the list. Use it to easily jump between seasons.
PROGRESS BAR
When you watch a OnePass recording, a progress bar will appear next to its title in the
OnePass folder. This can help you keep track of which episodes you’ve watched, and which
you haven’t. Note that the progress bar does not appear for streaming videos.
SORTING AND FILTERING SHOWS
You can view My Shows either alphabetically by title (from A to Z) or by date added. Press
the button to change how the list is sorted. Press it again to switch back.
When viewing a OnePass folder on a DVR or Mini, press the button to sort by season,
date, or newest to oldest. Press the button to filter your OnePass views:
•My episodes Displays only episodes that match your OnePass options. For example, if
you set up your OnePass to start at Season 3 and exclude episodes that require
purchase to view, only free episodes from Season 3 onward will be displayed. You can
watch or delete shows from this view.
•All episodes Displays all episodes, regardless of your OnePass options. For example,
even if your OnePass starts at Season 3 and excludes episodes that require purchase to
view, this view will display all episodes in the series. You can watch episodes from this
list, but you can’t delete them.
•Recordings Displays only recordings included in your OnePass. This view can be helpful
if you are trying to manage disk space.
In My Shows, available
streaming videos are marked
with a blue streaming icon:
Unavailable streaming vidoes are
marked witha grey icon: .

QUICK TOUR – ONEPASS™SEARCHES
ONEPASS: YOUR TICKET TO LIMITLESS ENTERTAINMENT
OnePass gathers every episode of a series available anywhere, every game or match from a
specific team, or every sporting event in a league (e.g. NHL, CFL, USL.), and adds them
right to your My Shows list to watch instantly.
For series, if an episode isn’t available on TV or from Cogeco On Demand, OnePass fills in
the gaps with episodes from streaming video providers like Netflix. For sports, your
OnePass search will find matches whether you search by full team or league name, location
(e.g., San Francisco, Stanford), nickname (e.g., Giants, Bears), or abbreviation (e.g., NFL,
NCAA, UCLA). Forget about knowing when or game will be airing or wondering which
streaming video service has a series available: the TiVo Service does it for you, so you can
start watching right away!
And here’s even better news: streaming videos and on-demand videos don’t take up any
disk space on your DVR! So when your OnePass includes streaming or on-demand videos,
you get more choices without having to worry about saving space for other recordings.
To create a OnePass search, find a series you want to watch, then choose “Create a
OnePass.” A OnePass folder for the series will be instantly created in My Shows and all
available episodes will be added.
To learn more about sorting and filtering a OnePass in My Shows, see Sorting and filtering
shows. For common questions about OnePass, see Troubleshooting.
ONEPASS RECORDING OPTIONS
When you create a OnePass, you can choose options that will give you exactly the results
you want. Just highlight “Create a OnePass,” then press the Right arrow and select
“Options.” You can also change the options of any existing OnePass by going to the
OnePass Manager. See Using the OnePass Manager for more information.
Options include:

TiVo®DVR/Mini Quick Guide
Include:Choose to include recordings, streaming and on-demand videos (from sources like
Cogeco On Demand and Netflix), or both in your OnePass results. Including streaming and
on-demand videos in your OnePass will give you the best results, and streaming videos
don’t take up any disk space!
Start from:Want to watch from the beginning? Choose Season 1. Just need to catch up?
Choose a different season. Only want new episodes? Choose “New episodes only.”
Rent or buy: Decide whether to include episodes that need to be rented or purchased
before viewing. (The TiVo Service from Cogeco will not rent or purchase the items for you;
you will have the option to rent or purchase them at the time of viewing.)
If your OnePass includes recordings, the following options are also available:
Record:Skip reruns or watch them all? Choose “New only” to avoid reruns, or “re-runs” to
get every episode.
Channel:Choose the channel on which to record the show, when more than one channel is
available.
Get in HD:When you set the “Channel” setting (above) to “All,” you can choose how often
to get the HD version of a show: always, never, or if possible. Note that if you choose
“always” and a show is not available in HD, it won’t be recorded. Likewise, if you choose
“never” and a show is only available in HD, it won’t be recorded.
Keep At Most:Set the maximum number of recordings to be saved.
Keep Until:Choose how long to keep a recording (or each episode of a repeating
recording). “Space needed” is the default setting, or choose “Until I delete” and your TiVo
box won’t delete this episode to record something new.
Start Recording:Start recording up to ten minutes before a show is scheduled to begin.
(This option is available only before recording starts.)
Stop Recording:Set a recording to continue — for a few minutes or up to three hours —
after it’s scheduled to end. You can change this setting when you set up the recording, or
while the recording is in progress.

QUICK TOUR – STREAMING VIDEOS
When you look for movies or individual episodes of series using the TiVo menus, your
options will include videos available to stream from Cogeco On Demand and other video
providers -- no need to switch to a different catalogue or app! When you find a streaming
video, choose “Watch now” to watch it instantly.
Don’t have time to watch it now? Rather than search for it again later, add a link to the video
directly to My Shows, so it’ll be there waiting when you’re ready. Just choose “Bookmark in
My Shows.”
Currently available streaming movies are added to My Shows in the “Movies” category or in
the “Streaming Movies” group in the “All” category. Available TV shows are added to the
“TV Series” category.
If a streaming video is currently unavailable from any of your video providers, it’s added to
the “Currently Unavailable” group at the bottom of My Shows. When the video becomes
available, it will automatically be added to the appropriate My Shows category or group.

from a series? From the series

Mother,” the Cogeco On Demand movie “How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days,” and the
director Ron Howard. Results are sorted by popularity, with better matches higher in the
list.

TiVo®DVR/Mini Quick Guide
THE DISCOVERY BAR
The Discovery Bar appears at the top of most TiVo screens. What you’ll see in the Discovery
Bar depends on you! Often, the Discovery Bar displays ideas for shows you might like
based on what shows you record and mark as your favourites. For example, if you watch the
show “The Voice,” the Discovery Bar might display thumbnails for other shows, like “So You
Think You Can Dance.” It all depends on what you’re interested in and what’s available to
you.
The Discovery Bar also displays lots of other great viewing options: popular shows or sports
events that are playing on live TV, items from your My Shows list, TiVo Suggestions, new
Cogeco On Demand shows, and more!
You can customize what appears in the Discovery Bar by going to “Settings & Messages,”
then “User Preferences,” then “Customize Discovery Bar.”
TIVO SUGGESTIONS
You can rate any show — whether it’s live, recorded, or listed in the program guide — by
pressing the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down button. You can give a show up to
three Thumbs Up (great!) or three Thumbs Down (terrible!).
TiVo Suggestions uses these ratings to create a list of shows you might like. The more
shows you rate over time, the better TiVo Suggestions will get at finding interesting shows
for you.
Auto-recording TiVo Suggestions
When your TiVo DVR has available space, it automatically records TiVo Suggestions. But
you don’t ever need to worry about recorded Suggestions taking up space — here’s why:
• TiVo Suggestions never replace shows you record, or prevent your shows from being
recorded.
• TiVo Suggestions are always the first shows deleted to make room for your recordings.
