2. INTRODUCTION
Are you using TiVo as your digital video recorder? If yes,
then how is your experience so far? If it has been good,
then there shouldn’t be any surprise because TiVo is
supposed to work excellently, which apparently it is. In
the recent times, people have found certain difficulties
while operating TiVo through TiVo remote control. They
don’t know whether the problem is related to the
device or the remote. It doesn’t matter as to what has
caused the issue, but it is important to get rid of it.

4. Resolution
If you are not able to operate your TiVo box with its
remote control, then you should perform below-
mentioned steps:
• 1. The first thing that you have to make sure is that the
remote control that you are using is the one that came
with your TiVo box. To confirm, you need to see if the
remote control has a TiVo button on it.
•2. You need to press any button on your TiVo remote
control in order to verify that the red light on the remote
control flashes. If it doesn’t, then do the following:

5. • Check whether the batteries are working correctly or not. Also,
check whether you are inserting the batteries in the right way or
not. This is a part of the TiVo setup.
• Remove the batteries from the remote and wait for half a
minute.
• If the batteries are not OK, then replace them with a new pair of
batteries.
• If you don’t see the lights even after replacing the old batteries
with new ones, then power cycle your TiVo box by taking out
the power cord from the device followed by waiting for 30
seconds before plugging the power cord back into the device. If
the TiVo doesn’t work after power cycling the box, then take
TiVo help from a professional.

6. If your TiVo remote has got a
couple of switches, then
change to other settings and
push TiVo button on your
remote control to go to the
TiVo Central. If you are
unable to find the switches,
then log onto TiVo com
support.

7. •You need to check whether or not there are
any obstructions that could be blocking the
signal from the remote control reaching the
TiVo device’s infrared sensor. If that’s the case,
then you should get rid of all those
obstructions. You should also check whether
TiVo com activate has been done or not.

9. •If there are other remote controls present
in the same room as well, then you need
to check whether those remote controls
are not sending an infrared signal to your
TiVo device. Remote controls for the
devices like DVD player, TV, gaming
console and stereo could disrupt the
signal.

10. •You need to reset the remote control address
so that it controls only TiVo box. For that, you
can hold down ‘Pause’ button along with ‘TiVo’
button for five seconds. You are going to see a
red light is flashed. Now, use the button
marked as ‘0’, which will set the remote
address 0 to control any DVR.
•You need to turn off the backlight function of
your TV. If you don’t know how to do that,
then reach out for TiVo customer service.

11. •If there are any computer monitors in the room, then
turn those ones off as well.
•Reset the IR receiver by flashing a bright light on the
front of the TiVo box.
•You will now have to perform a global reset of your
TiVo’s remote control.
•You will have to power cycle the TiVo box by taking out
the power cord from the back of the box followed by
waiting for 30 seconds. Then, you have to plug the
power cord back into the box and wait until the start-
up screen appears on your TV.

12. • If you don’t see the red light on the remote or the remote
control continues to stay unresponsive, then you will have to
buy a new remote control.
