New TiVo? Here Are Some Tips And Tricks

A TiVo DVR doesn’t just record Live TV with the click of a button. It also makes that TV-watching better, by recommending new shows based on your viewing history and allowing you to remotely schedule recordings with the TiVo app.

You can also use the voice control option on your TiVo DVR to simply tell it what you want! Just press the blue microphone on the TiVo voice remote and speak naturally. You can tell your TiVo DVR to change the channel, pause/rewind/fast forward a show, launch an app or search for a movie.

Things To Note

■ Right now, voice functionality is only available with the newer TiVo Experience. If you have the classic TiVo Experience, the voice remote will still work on your DVR, but without voice control.

■ Older TiVo remotes will work with the newer TiVo Experience, but you won’t have voice control functionality. If your current remote does not have a Back button, use the Zoom button to go back on any screen.

■ If you’re feeling left out, you can upgrade your remote for a one-time charge. Contact Midco (Midco.com/Contact) to get the new remote.
