Digital video recording has all but supplanted the VCR as the preferred method for recording television broadcast programming. There are several options for DVR from your cable or satellite company, but for those with specific preferences such as the ability to search for content or stream movies and other content, TiVo remains the best option. Connecting a TiVo DVR to your TV is a relatively simple task that can be performed with little technical experience.
Instructions
1. Connect the converter box provided by your cable or satellite provider to the TiVo box via composite A/V cables. The cables should connect from the "output" of the converter to the "input" of the TiVo box.
2. Connect the TiVo box to your TV. Composite A/V cables should run from the "output" of the TiVo box to the "input" on your TV.
3. Connect your TiVo box to a phone line. Use the splitter provided should the nearest phone line already be in use.
4. Connect the power cord to the TiVo box and plug it into the electrical outlet.
