Catheryn Small: There are two problems here: "channels like Oxygen appear black on TiVo" and, if I understand you correctly, "some channels (e.g. 301 = HBO?) are understood by TiVo's guide and channel info to be a wrong channel (e.g. TiVo thinks 301 is USA)." (These are fictitious examples.)SOME CHANNELS CANNOT BE RECEIVED BY TiVo:1) which TiVo does your girlfriend have?The high-def models (Series3 and TiVoHD) use CableCards to give these TiVos direct access to all subscribed cable channels. (both analog and digital channels.) In this case, please ask a Yahoo! question again, and specify you're having CableCard/lineup issues.All other TiVos need your cable/satellite box to access digital channels. I'll assume this is what your GF has; let's continue.2) Is the cable box output (audio plus either S-Video or composite video) correctly connected to the TiVo's input?3) Was TiVo set up to use the appropriate input?Go to Messages & Settings > Settings > Video > Video Hookup, and! ensure the correct input is selected. You can also go to Messages and Settings > Settings > Account & System Information > System Information, and double-check that one input has regular cable, the other uses the cable box. For example:Program Source (1) Cable Box, IRSource Input (1): Composite Video, L/R AudioProgram Source (2): Cable without BoxSource Input (2): Coax RF InOr you could have set up your TiVo with the wrong channel lineup, which leads us to your other possible problem:TiVo INTERPRETS CHANNEL nnn AS THE WRONG NETWORK4) Check your TiVo's channel lineup.Go to Messages and Settings > Settings > Channels > Channel List > Channels You Receive.If the channel descriptions (for both analog channels, typically 2-99 or 2-125, and digital channels above that) are wrong, you need to repeat Guided Setup and pick the correct channel lineup: go to Messages and Settings > Settings > Restart or Reset System > Repeat Guided Setup. This willNOT affect recorded programs, Season! Pass recordings, WishList searches, or TiVo Suggestions.Once ! you have the correct channel lineup:For the channels from 2 through 99, you should have a choice of both "cbl" and "box". In most cases, you should only have "cbl" checked. The exception is channels in this range that only work with the cable box -- and for those only "box" should be checked. If you don't receive a channel (or you don't want a channel in your list, both should be unchecked).From 100 and up, you should only have "box" entries -- and only check the ones you receive....Show more
Jonathan Schlussel: Tivo Channel Guide
Bethany Blocker: A TiVo works great for broadcast (antenna) television. One correction to Cole's answer nevertheless. The maximum advantageous 4 4-tuner kind is in simple terms for cable aspects, not for antenna television. The Tivo HD and a couple of-tuner maximum advantageous the two cope with antenna television. TiVo makes use of a tensecontinual, in simple terms like a computer, to record and play back television courses. With broa! dcast television now being Mpeg2 compressed digital video, the courses are recorded interior the comparable format as won, i.e. not recompressed as they have been with analog aspects. consequently you get the comparable finished HD high quality as you may observing television stay. in actuality it is probable greater effective than cable, by using fact it is many times recompressed to save cable bandwidth. tensecontinual recording facilitates you to do issues like speedy forward/opposite, and pause stay television.

Shena Etulain: First make sure your TV is set to tune cable not air channels in the TV menu. Also make sure to auto program or scan channels (whatever you TV calls it) to setup all the channels it can receive. AIR and CABLE use different channels for the channels numbered above ! 13.Now for that new channel disambiguation called digital cable:For the! most part channels 2 thru 13 are always 2 thru 13. And if you have cable tuning turned on in a TV or other device that watches or records TV on cable the channels 14 through 125 might be displayed correctly on all devices. I say MIGHT because even since cable companies invented digital cable they have been doing funny things with numbers on cable boxes.Where I live Channels 2 through 13, 14 through 48 and 50 through 74 also 98 are the same on the TVs connected directly to cable (no box) as they are on the box. Channel 49 without the box is the cable channel guide and with the box is movie previews. Channel 99 without the box is remapped to channel 1 with the box. All the other channels are digital which mean they are remapped from any real numbering system for cable channels. What does that mean?, Read on.What is means is if you get one of these new HDTV or SDTV sets with the digital tuners built in for cable you may or may not see these extra non analog cable channe! ls. And if you do see these channels they are numbered with a decimal like 111.1 or 103.7 and so on....Show more
Terresa Tsasie: Watching tv is simpler but I love reading literature more
Inge Mclaurine: while reading a book, you're stimulating the human brain. You increase your reading and literacy skills therefore you in the process, become more literate. Despite having today's modern tools, you need to be able to read still. While you're watching t.v. can be good fun, it is not doing anything to the human brain.
