Welcome to TiVo
The TiVo New Experience 4 is here!
The New Experience gets you to your favorites shows faster than ever before, while learning what you like to make more personalized recommendations. Simultaneously explore live TV, recordings and streaming services. All your favorite shows, movies and sports are together in one place. The new voice remote lets you say what you're looking for so you find it quickly and easily.
TiVo Home
Press the TiVo button on your remote control to get to the TiVo Home screen, the starting point for all of TiVo’s amazing features. Access your recorded programs, interactive guide, settings, apps and more, from one easy to navigate menu.
Voice Remote
Search for shows, tune to a channel and ask for recommendations. To issue a voice command, press and hold the button and speak naturally into the remote. You can say things like “Play the latest episode of Modern Family,” or “Launch Netflix,” or “Find some action movies.” You can even add on to your initial command to get more specific. For example, after the command, “Show me some action movies,” you could add “From the 80s...just the ones with Bruce Willis.” Voice remotes are available for a one time activation fee of $1.99. Pick one up in our lobby or call 253-502-8900.
OnePassTM
OnePass gathers every episode of a series available anywhere and adds them all right to your My Shows list. If it’s not available on TV or video on demand, OnePass fills in the gaps with episodes from providers like Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO, and more (subscription required.)
- To create a OnePass, find a show you want to watch, then choose "Create a OnePass."
My Shows
All of your recordings and streaming videos appear in the My Shows list.
- To get to the My Shows list from any menu screen or from live TV, just press the TiVo button twice.
- Press it once if you’re already on the Home screen.
At the top of the My Shows list, you’ll see the Continue Watching strip which are the shows you’ve been watching most recently. Below that, filters like ‘Movies,’ ‘TV,’ and ‘Kids’ let you narrow your My Shows choices instantly. Beneath the filters, you’ll find all of your OnePass selections, single recordings, WishList searches, and bookmarked shows and movies.

- Download the “VU-IT” app in the Apple App or Google Play Store to your device. To login you will need the email address and password that you registered with on WatchTVeverywhere.com.

Video Apps
When you search or browse for movies or individual episodes of series, your results include videos available to stream from your selected video apps - no need to switch to a different input. Don’t have time to watch it now? Rather than search for it again later, ‘Bookmark’ it to add a link to the video directly to My Shows.
The Smart Bar
Located at the bottom of the Home screen, the SmartBar predicts shows to watch based on what your household usually watches at a particular time or day. For example, if you normally watch the previous night’s late-night talk show the next morning, you’ll see it in the SmartBar when you wake up. If the kids tend to watch shows while dinner’s cooking, those shows will be waiting in the SmartBar at that time each day.
What to Watch
Browse shows available to stream, watch live, bookmark, or record. Top-level categories include ‘On TV Today,’ ‘Sports,’ ‘Movies,’ and more. Each category also includes more specific sub-categories to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
QuickView
QuickView lets you see what else is playing now or coming up without missing the action on the show you’re watching.
- Press UP to see a condensed guide; DOWN to display the SmartBar; LEFT to bring up your favorite channels; and RIGHT to take a look at what’s playing on other tuners.
QuickModeTM
QuickMode lets you watch a show 30% faster, while also letting you hear what everyone is saying!
- Press PLAY to bring up the status bar, then SELECT to start QuickMode.
- Press PLAY and SELECT again to watch at normal speed.
Integrated Search
The TiVo service searches upcoming TV shows and movies and video on demand offerings all at the same time. Search by show title, episode title, show description, or person name (actor, director, etc.). You can even search for a particular channel by its network name or call sign (e.g., ABC or ESPN).
Talking Guide
The TiVo primary box and remote now provide a feature to assist visually impaired customers with navigation. The feature, when enabled, audibly reads the text in the channel guide and menus. Learn more here.
