Congratulations!

Get ready to experience an entirely new level of entertainment. Moxi takes your television beyond
everyday TV programming and teaches it some entirely new tricks. The Moxi Service lets you watch
your favorite shows on your schedule. Plus, it offers many great opportunities to make your viewing
experience much more enjoyable.

With the 2-TV Media Center plus the Moxi Mate, you can enjoy full access to all the exciting features
described here, and to all recorded content, anywhere in your home!

If your version of Moxi does not include all the features described in this guide, call your cable
company to find out how to add them.

Digital Video Recording (DVR)

Moxi DVR lets you pause, rewind, and fast-forward through live shows—including high definition
programming—just as you do recorded shows. You can also find, record, and store your favorite
movies and shows digitally, and then watch them whenever you want. You no longer need piles of
tapes or complicated VCRs.

Moxi Menu

The Moxi Menu provides a fast and easy way to view all your entertainment options. You can find the
shows you want by title, category, actor, or channel. Use the menu to quickly see what’s on now, and
scroll through On Next to see what’s coming up. The Moxi Menu makes it easy to configure parental
controls, channel lists, and more.

Ticker

Moxi Ticker gives you one-click access to the latest weather, sports, news, and stocks without
changing the channel. The Moxi Ticker scrolls below the TV picture, so it doesn’t interfere with your
show. And with one click, you can see the story behind the headline.

Photos

Moxi lets you store your digital photos and display them on your TV. If you have the 2-TV Media Center
plus Moxi Mate, your family can enjoy your slideshows on both TVs.

Media Player

With Moxi’s Media Player, you can enjoy all DVD functions with the same Moxi remote control and
Moxi Menu you use for TV. Plus, you can cut down on living room clutter by having one less box to
stack and one less remote to lose.

Games

Try your hand at a selection of fun and challenging interactive games on your TV. Moxi tests your skill
and memory with a collection of strategy and casino games that are easy to learn and hard to walk
away from.

gratulations!

Moxi Menu

Introducing the Moxi Menu

The Moxi Menu puts all your entertainment options into horizontal and vertical bands that loop
around so you never get lost. The horizontal band contains the main categories of Channels (live TV)
and Recorded TV, plus exciting Moxi features such as Ticker, Games, and more. Use the left and right
arrow buttons on the Moxi remote to scroll through the categories. When a category rests in center
focus (the central, highlighted area), a vertical band appears containing all the choices for
that category.

If you have the 2-TV Media Center and Moxi Mate, you can use the Moxi Menu from either
TV or both simultaneously.

To display the Moxi Menu:

The vertical list displays show

titles or subcategories of the
item in center focus. Move a

more information.

the Moxi Menu. The video window

and time.

Saving and Watching Favorite Channels

Moxi automatically remembers your favorite channels and creates a list of the 15 channels you watch
most often. The Favorites category updates automatically, but you can also customize it.

With the 2-TV Media Center, Moxi saves favorite channels for each TV separately. The channels you
watch most frequently in one room appear in the Favorites list in that Moxi Menu only. They do not
appear in the Favorites list in the Moxi Menu in the second room.

automatically adds the channels you watch most frequently.

Find and Watch a Show

Getting Information About the Current Show

When you tune to a channel, the Flip Bar appears at the bottom of your screen. It displays the name
of the show, its duration, and the channel you are watching. The Flip Bar also shows you what’s on
later (described in more detail on page 10). Plus, it lets you browse through upcoming shows on other
channels without having to change the channel. The Flip Bar disappears automatically after a few
seconds of no activity.

record appears on the main Flip Bar or in its list of upcoming shows,
press the OK button. Select the desired action.

Digital Video Recorder

Getting to Know the Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

Moxi makes it more enjoyable to watch live or recorded TV. Using the Moxi remote, you can pause,
rewind, fast-forward, and replay the action. You can also record and store up to 50 hours of programs.
You can record two shows at the same time or record one show while you watch another.

With the 2-TV Media Center and Moxi Mate, you can do even more. You can record a show on one TV
and watch it on another. Or, you can watch and record two different shows at the same time—one on
each TV.

Use the buttons in the center section of the Moxi remote to control the DVR.

replay: Jumps back seven seconds.

skip: Jumps ahead approximately 30 seconds (if possible).

play: Begins playing or resumes play.

pause: Pauses the program.

fwd: Fast-forwards at variable speeds, faster with each press

(3x, 15x, 60x).

rew: Rewinds at variable speeds, faster with each press

(3x, 15x, 60x).

stop: Stops recording or playback of a recorded show.

rec: Gives you the option of recording the show.

A player bar keeps you informed of how much of a recorded show you have watched and the time
remaining.

If you pause or replay live TV, the player bar shows how much of the show has been recorded to
temporary memory. That is how much you can replay.

The amount of content you can store on Moxi varies, depending on whether you record standard
definition or high definition content. High definition content takes up approximately four times as
much space on your DVR.
