( )!!**
of this Viewer’s Guide to complete
Guided Setup and activate the DIRECTV® and TiVo services.
+ $ -
• Learn the basics by browsing the back of the Start Here poster.
• Take the five tours in chapter two of this Viewer’s Guide for a quick introduction
and overview of the DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo’s most exciting features. After
you finish the tours, look through “Cool Things You Can Do” for tips on how to get

After following instructions in the Installation Guide to connect your DIRECTV
Receiver with TiVo to your other audio/visual equipment, you can start Guided Setup
for your DIRECTV®and TiVo services. Guided Setup includes three steps:
• Satellite Dish Guided Setup
• Activating DIRECTV®and TiVo Services
• Phone Setup
To complete Guided Setup, you use the remote control to move through screens and to
select menu items on your television’s display. You use the remote control’s navigation
buttons (RIGHT, LEFT, UP and DOWN arrows) to highlight items, then press
SELECT to choose a highlighted item and move to the next screen. The LEFT arrow
typically returns you to a previous screen. For an introduction to the remote control,
see “Introducing the Remote Control” on the inside front cover of this guide.
!&
When you first turn on your DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo, you will see a
gray screen that says “Welcome. Powering up,” followed by the
!&
screen
shown to the left. Read the text on the screen then press SELECT to move to the next
screen.
If you do not see the
!&
screen:
• Make sure your Receiver is plugged in and that the audio and video cables are
connected correctly, as described in the Installation Guide.
• Make sure your TV is set to the correct video input. There may be a “Video” or
“Input” button on your TV’s remote. If you used RF cables to connect the Receiver
to the TV, check that your TV is tuned to channel three or four.

Satellite Dish Guided Setup tells the Receiver what type of satellite dish you are using,
so you must go through it at least once, even if you are only replacing a receiver that
was already working. Satellite Dish Guided Setup usually takes about five minutes,
plus whatever time you may need to position your dish.
!
After you press SELECT on the
!&
screen, you’ll see a
reminder to make sure all cables are properly connected to the Receiver and to your
TV. If you need help connecting cables, see chapter two of the Installation Guide.
Press SELECT when you are ready to continue.
!!
Choose the type of satellite dish you have installed. If the manual
for your satellite dish is available, you can find its type there.
Most people should select “Round dish, (Single or Dual LNB).” The most important
feature of this type of dish is that it receives a signal from one satellite in the sky. Some
manufacturers produce a dish that receives a signal from one satellite but is slightly
oval in shape. People with those satellite dishes should also choose “Round dish
(Single or Dual LNB).”
One cable extends from a single-LNB dish to a home; two cables extend from a Dual
LNB dish to a home (or to a multi-switch). Most new satellite dishes are Dual LNB.
An oval, 2 satellite dish can receive signals from two satellites. An oval, 3 satellite dish
can receive signals from three satellites. 2 and 3 satellite dishes are always Dual LNB.

To select a satellite dish type, press the UP and DOWN navigation arrows to highlight
the type of satellite dish you have. Note that as you highlight the different satellite dish
types, the picture on the right side of the screen changes. To see the next screen,
highlight the type of satellite dish you are using, then press SELECT.
/*
Use the number keys on your remote control to enter your ZIP code. The
Receiver uses your ZIP code to determine the direction your satellite dish should point.
Press SELECT to see the next screen.
!!
Based on your ZIP code and dish type, this screen shows
roughly how to position your satellite dish. You will fine tune the position later on
during Satellite Dish Guided Setup at the
$!$
screen. Before
positioning the dish, be sure the mast (the pole on which the dish is mounted) is
straight up and down. For 2 satellite or 3 satellite dishes, the screen provides a required
tilt in addition to side-to-side (azimuth) and up-down (elevation) information available
for round satellite dishes. Professional satellite installers are available in most areas to
ensure correct installation. If your satellite system was installed by a professional, the
satellite dish direction should be correct. To see the next screen, press SELECT.

The items on this list help ensure you receive a clear satellite
signal. To see the next screen, press SELECT when you are satisfied that each item is
complete.

You use this screen to check the strength of the signal
received by your satellite dish. It lets you see the signal strength from individual
transponders one at a time. To be sure you receive all your channels, you should check
signal strength on several transponders. (A transponder is a piece of radio equipment
on a satellite. DIRECTV transponders receive information from DIRECTV and
rebroadcast it to your satellite dish. Different channels are rebroadcast by different
transponders, and different satellites have different numbers of transponders.)
Note: You can check signal strength while you adjust the pointing of your satellite
dish. The signal strength meter on this screen provides audio feedback—a tone that
becomes higher pitched as the signal gets stronger. You may be able to turn the volume
on your TV up so you can hear the tone while you adjust the position of your satellite
dish. Alternatively, you might have someone watching the signal strength meter and
then reporting through a cell phone or walkie-talkie to the person who is adjusting the
satellite dish.
• To change the currently selected transponder, use the UP arrow to highlight the
transponder number. Press the RIGHT or LEFT arrow to change the transponder. It
is best if all of your available transponders have a signal strength above 60,
however, you may get a satisfactory reception at a lower number.
If you have a 2 or 3 satellite dish, you should check the signal strength from
transponders on each satellite.
• To change the selected satellite, press the UP arrow until the satellite number is
highlighted. Press the RIGHT or LEFT arrow to change the satellite.
• Press the DOWN arrow to highlight the transponder number, then press LEFT or
RIGHT arrow to check the signal on different transponders on that satellite.
After testing the signal strength, press SELECT to highlight “Done Testing Signal
Strength,” then press SELECT again to see the next screen. If you cannot acquire a
good satellite signal, see
!!$!!$
, on the next page.

There is a short wait at the next screen while the
Receiver confirms your setup. When it is finished, press SELECT to continue. Another
short wait follows while the Receiver gathers the list of channels from the satellite.
When it has finished, the

screen appears automatically.

If you encounter problems during Satellite Dish
Guided Setup, an error screen will provide possible options. For example, you may
have made a mistake entering your ZIP code or the type of satellite dish you are using.
If you are trying to set up the Receiver, you should choose one of the options that
allow you to redo part of Satellite Dish Guided Setup. For example, if you received the
“Satellite Info Error,” you can choose “Try Again to Acquire Information.” You can
also choose to redo Satellite Dish Guided Setup. This allows you to check that your
ZIP code and satellite dish type are correct. If you repeat Satellite Dish Guided Setup
and still receive error notifications, it is possible that your satellite dish is not pointed
correctly or the dish or multi-switch is miswired. In such a case, you can check the
cabling, or consult a professional satellite system installer.
If you are trying to bypass Satellite Dish Guided Setup—for example, if you are
setting up the Receiver in a place without a satellite signal—the bottom choice on the
error screens allows you to continue without resolving potential problems. While you
may receive fewer or no TV channels, you can still watch any programs you may have
previously recorded to

Over the first 1 to 2 days, the Receiver will gather and index up
to two weeks of program data from DIRECTV satellites. Program data includes
program titles, times, channels, descriptions and much more.
Many of the Receiver’s features use program data. Although you may be able to use
such features immediately, you may not be able to find all the programs you are
looking for until the Receiver has gathered all of its program data. If programs you are
looking for do not appear when you search for them, check on them again after the
Receiver has been gathering and indexing program data for a while.
Until the Receiver has gathered all of its Program Guide Data, many screens will have
notices that tell you that Program Guide Data is being acquired. These notices appear
at the bottom of screens.

The TiVo Service provides your DIRECTV System with TiVo’s Personal TV
functions. Without the TiVo Service, the Receiver functions only as a DIRECTV
Receiver, and does not have recording capability.
The TiVo Service includes the ability to record programs, create Season Passes and
WishLists. It also gives you access to TiVolution Magazine, Network Showcases, and
TiVo’s Suggestions, as well as several quick, convenient ways to find programs you
want to record. Another wonderful thing about the TiVo Service is that it improves
with time, providing you with enhancements that keep you up-to-date with new
features we’re always creating.
Activate today! Don’t miss a single day of TiVo—TV your way™.

The last step of Guided Setup, Phone Setup, begins automatically the first
time you press the TiVo button on your Remote Control. The Receiver will make a
brief call during Phone Setup and then will automatically make a short call each day to
communicate with the DIRECTV and TiVo Services, so a telephone line should be
connected to the Receiver, as described in the Installation Guide. The Receiver makes
a brief daily phone call to get updates to the TiVo Service, TiVolution Magazine, and
Network Showcases, and for Pay Per View functionality.
Phone calls made by the Receiver generally happen late at night. By default, the
Receiver will not pick up the phone if the line is busy. If you pick up the phone while
the Receiver is using the line, the modem will begin to disconnect. You should hang
up, then pick up the phone again to get a dial tone.
