Questions About Recording Programs
Can I record two programs at the same time, or
watch one channel and record another?
The TiVo
®
Series3
TM
HD DVR is capable of recording two
programs on two different channels at the same time (dual tuner).
Dual tuner functionality depends on your TV programming source,
and how it is connected to your TiVo DVR.
• If your TV programming source is antenna only, the DVR is
configured for dual tuner.
• If your TV programming source is antenna and basic cable (no
CableCARD decoders), the DVR is configured for dual tuner.
• If your TV programming source includes CableCARD
TM
decoders, you must have two CableCARD decoders installed for
dual tuner functionality.
Note: A single multi-stream CableCARD decoder installed in
the bottom slot on the back of the DVR enables dual tuner
functionality. However, as of the first publication of this guide,
multi-stream CableCARD decoders are not yet available.
What is the difference between HD programs and SD
programs?
• High-definition programs are broadcast with the highest quality
digital sound and picture available. See “Understanding HDTV”
on page vi (in the first section of this guide) to learn more about
high-definition television.
High-definition recordings take up more space on your DVR
than standard programs to preserve the superior quality of the
broadcast.
Why can’t I adjust the recording quality of some
programs?
• There’s no option to change the recording quality of programs
broadcast in high-definition.
