Congratulations!
Get ready to experience an entirely new level of entertainment. Moxi takes your television beyond
everyday TV programming and teaches it some entirely new tricks. The Moxi Service lets you watch
your favorite shows on your schedule. Plus, it offers many great opportunities to make your viewing
experience much more enjoyable.
With the 2-TV Media Center plus the Moxi Mate, you can enjoy full access to all the exciting features
described here, and to all recorded content, anywhere in your home!
If your version of Moxi does not include all the features described in this guide, call your cable
company to find out how to add them.
Digital Video Recording (DVR)
Moxi DVR lets you pause, rewind, and fast-forward through live shows—including high definition
programming—just as you do recorded shows. You can also find, record, and store your favorite
movies and shows digitally, and then watch them whenever you want. You no longer need piles of
tapes or complicated VCRs.
Moxi Menu
The Moxi Menu provides a fast and easy way to view all your entertainment options. You can find the
shows you want by title, category, actor, or channel. Use the menu to quickly see what’s on now, and
scroll through On Next to see what’s coming up. The Moxi Menu makes it easy to configure parental
controls, channel lists, and more.
Ticker
Moxi Ticker gives you one-click access to the latest weather, sports, news, and stocks without
changing the channel. The Moxi Ticker scrolls below the TV picture, so it doesn’t interfere with your
show. And with one click, you can see the story behind the headline.
Photos
Moxi lets you store your digital photos and display them on your TV. If you have the 2-TV Media Center
plus Moxi Mate, your family can enjoy your slideshows on both TVs.
Media Player
With Moxi’s Media Player, you can enjoy all DVD functions with the same Moxi remote control and
Moxi Menu you use for TV. Plus, you can cut down on living room clutter by having one less box to
stack and one less remote to lose.
Games
Try your hand at a selection of fun and challenging interactive games on your TV. Moxi tests your skill
and memory with a collection of strategy and casino games that are easy to learn and hard to walk
away from.
Congratulations!

Moxi Menu
Introducing the Moxi Menu
The Moxi Menu puts all your entertainment options into horizontal and vertical bands that loop
around so you never get lost. The horizontal band contains the main categories of Channels (live TV)
and Recorded TV, plus exciting Moxi features such as Ticker, Games, and more. Use the left and right
arrow buttons on the Moxi remote to scroll through the categories. When a category rests in center
focus (the central, highlighted area), a vertical band appears containing all the choices for
that category.
If you have the 2-TV Media Center and Moxi Mate, you can use the Moxi Menu from either
TV or both simultaneously.

times, channel ID, and more.
The vertical list displays show
titles or subcategories of the
item in center focus. Move a
title into center focus to see
more information.
Live and recorded shows continue
in the video window while you use
the Moxi Menu. The video window
also displays the current channel
and time.
The On Next menu lists up-
coming shows on the current
channel.
Arrows indicate which directions
you can scroll.
The Info Panel provides additional
information about the item in cen-
ter focus.

The Channels category provides the quickest way to see what’s on now and what’s on next. See
“Customizing the Channels Listings” on page 42 to learn about removing and adding channels to the
Channels category.

on each.
• To view the Channels category: Press the MOXI button on the remote
to bring up the Moxi Menu.
• To see what’s on now: Press the up or down arrow buttons to scroll
through the vertical list. To scroll through individual items more

a time, press the ch+ and ch- buttons.
• To see what’s on later: Check the On Next menu or the Flip Bar. The
following page describes how to use the On Next menu and Flip Bar to
find upcoming shows (up to two weeks out).
Hint: If the Channels category is not in center focus, press the MOXI button again.
