Tivo Hints and Tips
The Following hints and tips are provided as information only and are not intended to replace your TiVo instruction manual.
Service and support for your TiVo come directly from TiVo. West Carolina is not a dealer nor are we fully trained in the use and setup of the product.
As you go through the guided setup, we have provided additional information in those sections specific to West Carolina’s Digital Entertainment Service.
Notice: In most areas it is a long distance call to download the Tivo interactive guide.
The Guided Setup requires two phone calls. The first call is a toll-free 800-number which gives you the nearest area to call and download the interactive guide. The second call downloads the guide information. Try to complete the Guided Setup when you don’t need the phone for an hour or so.
