The Moxi Menu contains a group of filter cards: News, Sports, Movies, HD, Music and Kids, that only show you
the types of programs you want to see. So, if you’re only interested in HD, for example, the HD card will show
you all of the HDTV programs available now and up to two weeks in the future.

Favorites

The Favorites filter automatically populates with the fifteen channels you watch the most frequently.

The favorites list builds from channels that appear in the Channels category and excludes any channels blocked
by parental controls. You can delete a single channel at a time by selecting the channel and choosing remove
channel from the action menu. You can also press clear on the remote control.

Clear the entire favorites list by selecting the Options card (you might need to scroll down to see it), and then
choosing clear all from the action menu.

The main panel of the Flip Bar gives you the program name, air time, and channel. Use the up and down arrows
to change the channel displayed in the Flip Bar without leaving the program you’re watching.

Record a Show

If you’re browsing the Moxi Menu, and you see a show that interests you, you can:

• Press the Record button

Conflict Management

Your Moxi HD DVR comes with two or three live TV tuners, depending on the model, which means that you can
record two or three different shows at once. In the event that there is a tuner conflict, such as when you have two

outlines your options and lets you make a choice.

Options

The Options card appears in the Recorded TV category and lets you set your personal recording preferences.
Select the Options card, and you’ll get access to:

Canceled and Deleted

When you chose to record one show over another due to a conflict, (or someone in your household does)
sometimes it’s hard to remember why that canceled show isn’t showing up in Recorded TV. Moxi keeps a list of
shows that you have scheduled that will not record as well as shows that did not record.

The shows above center focus have not aired yet, while the shows below center focus have already aired.

STORAGE SPACE

Your Moxi HD DVR provides
up to 300 hours of SD storage
space and up to 75 hours of HD
storage space.

RECORDING LIVE TV

If you are watching a Live TV
program and have to run out
the door, simply press Record
on your remote control. You’ll
then get an action menu that will
give you the option of recording
the show you are currently on,
including anything that is in the
recorded temporary memory.

Scheduled to Record

Confirm that a show is set to record using the Scheduled to Record category.

In Scheduled to Record, you can also cancel a recording and access your recording options for each show. Just
pick the show you want to manage, and press OK. The action menu gives you all of your choices, including:

• Cancel Recordings

• Recording Options

• Lock

• See All Times

Series Options

Series Options lists the series you have scheduled to record in priority order. With one of the series selected, press

recording of an individual program:

• Stop the show from recording

• Decide how long to keep the show

• Record the entire series

• If the recording hasn’t started yet, you can start it early or stop it late

Multi-Room Functionality

You can extend the functionality of your Moxi HD DVR inexpensively with the purchase of the Moxi Mate. With the Moxi Mate, you’ll be able
to watch live TV and access the same set of recorded programming that you can with your Moxi HD DVR; there is no need to set recordings
twice. If you started watching a program on one TV, you’ll be able to resume it where you left off in the other room.

You’ll also be able to access all of the great Internet services, like Rhapsody, Flickr, Finetune, etc. automatically on your Moxi Mate.

Once you have both a Moxi HD DVR and a Moxi Mate connected to your home network, you’ll automatically see your Moxi HD DVR’s Recorded
TV folder contents on your Moxi Mate.

The Moxi Mate does not record it’s own programs at this time.

You can connect up to two Moxi Mates on a home network with your Moxi HD DVR. All a Moxi Mate needs is a broadband connection of 100
Mbps.

You have three options for getting that connection to your Moxi:

• Wired

• MoCA adapters (We recommend any MoCA adaptor kit that can transfer speeds over 100 Mbps. Most MoCA Ethernet adaptor kits support

200 Mbps or higher)

• PowerLine adapters (HomePlug 1.0 AV). HomePlug Alliance certified PowerLine adapter can enable a reliable high speed network
connection of up to 200 Mbps. Powerline adapters with a lower throughput are unlikely to work for multi-room configurations

After 30 minutes with no button-press activity, the game suspends, and a screensaver appears. The screensaver
is a black screen displaying white text that reads, MOXI. Press any button to continue. Once you press a button,
the game reappears and resumes.

Intro to MoxiNet

MoxiNet gives you two great ways to find the Internet information you’re looking for: MoxiNet content
pages and bookmarking capability for your favorite Internet sites. MoxiNet is located in the Moxi
Menu. When you bring the MoxiNet card into center focus, the MoxiNet categories, as well as your
bookmarked sites, will expand in the vertical list. When you press OK to choose a category or site, a
new window will open. To return to the Moxi Menu, press the Moxi button.

78

MoxiNet content pages like News, Sports, Weather, Arts and Listings provide you with pages that are
specifically designed to be viewed and navigated on your TV with a remote control. See a breaking news
story that you want to learn more about? Check the MoxiNet News page. See a movie trailer on TV that
interests you? Check out where it’s playing in the MoxiNet Listings. Once you’ve opened a MoxiNet category,
you can move between categories with your remote.

To add a site:

To access a site, bring that card into center focus, and press OK. An Internet browser will open to the site you specified.

Use the arrow keys to navigate around the site. Channel up and down will scroll through entire pages. To select something on the page, press OK.

When you select a text entry box on a Web page, a virtual keyboard will appear. You can then use the arrow buttons to navigate, and press OK to enter a
letter. Select Submit when you’re done.

If you would prefer to navigate using an onscreen mouse, press the asterisk button, and the cursor will appear. You can then use the arrow buttons to move
the cursor around the screen.

Parental Controls

The Moxi Menu provides robust Parental Controls, including the ability to lock shows by channel or by the same
rating systems used by the V-Chip: MPAA ratings and TV Parental Guideline ratings. Parents choose a 4-digit
PIN and then enter that PIN to manage their choices.

You can also lock out individual shows, including recorded programs, from the Moxi Menu. The Moxi system
records scheduled shows that are blocked by parental controls, but you must enter the PIN before you can watch
them.

Working with your PIN

Creating a PIN

The first time you use parental controls, the Moxi system asks you to create a PIN.

1. In the Settings category, scroll to the Parental Controls card, and press OK.

2. Press the numbers on the remote to enter a four digit PIN and then enter the PIN again to confirm it.

3. Choose close

Changing a PIN

1. In the Settings category, scroll to the Parental Controls card, and press OK.

2. Choose settings, use the left arrow to scroll left to the Change PIN card, and then press OK.

3. Enter the old PIN, enter the new PIN, and then enter the new PIN again to confirm it.

If You Forget Your PIN

1. Go to www.moxi.com, log in to your account, and click on the Moxi device whose PIN you want to reset.

2. When the selected Device summary screen opens, a Reset PIN button displays at the bottom left. Click on the
Reset PIN button.

3. When the PIN reset is complete, a confirmation note appears. Parental Controls are now unlocked.

4. Go to the Moxi Menu and create a new PIN in order to re-lock Parental Controls.

85

Locking and Unlocking Programs

Locking by Channels or by Rating

1. In the Settings category, scroll to the Parental Controls card, and then press OK.

2. Choose settings (within Parental Controls) and then use the right arrow to choose either TV Ratings, Movie
Ratings or Lock By Channel.

3. Each card contains a list of the rating systems or a list of channels. Scroll to the format or channel you want to
control.

Lock the rating or channel by choosing it, and then pressing OK on the remote. When you lock a rating, all ratings for
more restrictive content are also locked. For example, if you lock the TVPG rating, then the TV14 and TVMA ratings
are also locked automatically, because these ratings are for more mature audiences than TVPG. When unlocking, the
reverse is also true.

If the V-Chip in your TV is enabled, you may see a black screen after tuning to a channel with blocked content. No
Moxi Menu, flip bar, sound effects, or any other audio or video are shown or heard. To correct this, change to an unblocked
channel, or disable all V-Chip functions and use the parental control features provided by the Moxi system to regulate viewing.

Turning Off Parental Controls
To unlock or change all parental control settings, go to the Settings category, scroll to the Parental Controls card, and then press
OK. Follow these instructions to unlock selected items:

1. Press OK on any locked program.

2. Enter your PIN to unlock all programming temporarily or choose more options to only unlock the current channel.

Unlock for a Specified Amount of Time:

1. In the Settings category, scroll to the Parental Controls card, and then press OK.

2. Choose settings (within Parental Controls), scroll to the Set Relock Timer card, and then press OK.

3. Enter your PIN, if prompted.

4. Choose the unlock duration between one and six hours.

5. Once set, the Parental Controls category card displays the selected relock time.
