Using This Guide

Thank you for choosing the TiVo® Series3TM HD Digital Media Recorder (DVR). This Viewer’s Guide helps you learn about the smart-recording features of the TiVo

service and home networking

capabilities of your TiVo DVR.

Getting Started

Here’s what you need to do first:

1. Activate the TiVo service. The TiVo service is what makes your

DVR smart. It includes everything from your program listings to Season Pass are sold with a TiVo service plan. If you haven’t yet activated, visit www.tivo.com/activate

2. Connect your TiVo DVR. If the TiVo service is the brains, the

TiVo DVR is the body. Use the Start Here poster to connect the DVR to your TV programming source and your television.

3. Complete Guided Setup. After connecting your DVR, follow the

steps in on-screen Guided Setup. This customizes the DVR for your home.

4. Take a Tour! Once you’re done with Guided Setup, the Tours in

Chapter 1 of this guide introduce you to the best features of the TiVo service. You may also find helpful videos already recorded for you on the Now Playing List.

or call 1-877-367-8486.

Basic Terms

If this is your first TiVo DVR, you’re about to completely change the way you watch television. When we talk about the TiVo service, here are some terms you should know:

Live TV. If you’re watching a program as it’s being broadcast, you’re watching live TV. With the TiVo service, you can pause live TV for up to 30 minutes. When you resume watching, you’re “behind” live TV.

Dual tuner. A tuner is a device found inside DVRs, TVs, VCRs, cable boxes—anything designed to receive TV signals. A tuner picks one channel to display from all the channels you receive; it “tunes” to that channel. The TiVo tuner” device, meaning that it has two tuners inside.

CableCARD

Decoder. Your cable company can provide

CableCARD decoders to receive and decode encrypted digital cable programming without the need for a cable box. Plug two CableCARD decoders into the back of the TiVo Series3 HD DVR for dual tuner digital cable.

Service updates. From time to time, your DVR may receive updates to the TiVo service including features not described in this guide. Details are always available at www.tivo.com/guides

Notes and Tips. In the side columns of some pages in this guide you’ll find helpful Notes and Tips .

Understanding HDTV

High-definition television combines high-resolution digital television with digital sound. It is bigger, sharper, and better than anything you have previously experienced in home entertainment.

If you’re new to the world of HDTV, here are a few basic terms and concepts to help you get the most out of the experience.

HDTV Receiver. An HDTV receiver decodes high-definition video signals for display on your TV. The TiVo DVR combines an HDTV receiver with a digital video recorder. It also receives ATSC (digital) and NTSC (standard) antenna signals.

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). HDMI is an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface for electronic devices. HDMI improves on DVI in that it sends both highdefinition video and digital audio signals through a single cable.

Digital Visual Interface (DVI). DVI describes a type of video connection found on many HDTVs. DVI allows a true digital connection for video signals and other digital information. To connect the TiVo DVR to a TV’s DVI jack, you’ll need an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or HDMI-to-DVI cable (sold separately).

Dolby

Digital Audio. Programs broadcast with Dolby Digital

audio have six audio channels, each of which can be heard on one of six separate speakers. To hear Dolby Digital audio, use an optical digital audio cable (sold separately) or the HDMI cable (supplied) to connect your TiVo DVR to an A/V receiver or home theater system that supports Dolby Digital audio.

Aspect Ratio. A TV’s aspect ratio is the comparison of the screen’s width to its height: either the standard 4:3 screen or 16:9 widescreen. For more about this setting, see page 57.

Aspect Correction. Aspect correction is required when the aspect ratio of the broadcast picture and the screen size of the TV don’t match. The ASPECT button on the DVR remote lets you quickly change how a picture is displayed while watching TV.

Aspect correction offers three modes to fit the broadcast picture to your TV screen: Full stretches the picture, Panel adds letterbox or side bars to the picture, and Zoom expands and crops the picture, eliminating bars that may be in the broadcast. For tips on using Aspect Correction, see page page 56.

Video Formats

TV programs are broadcast in a variety of video formats. The TiVo DVR can display video on your TV in exactly the same format as it’s broadcast, or it can convert the video format to suit your TV.

Video Output Format. Choose the Video Output Format you want the TiVo DVR to use based on the formats your TV can display. Check your TV’s owner’s manual to be sure. Then go to the TiVo Central Settings, then Video, then Video Output Format.

screen and select Messages & Settings, then

Page 8

Each video format is named with a number and a letter: 1080i and 720p are high-definition formats, 480p is known as enhanced-definition, and 480i is standard-definition.

The number indicates video resolution: how many horizontal lines of information make up a single frame of video. Generally, bigger numbers mean sharper, more detailed images. The letter indicates the method of scanning: interlaced or progressive.

With interlaced scanning (1080i & 480i), the horizontal lines in a video frame are divided into two groups. If you were to number the lines from the top to the bottom of the screen, one group would be the odd numbered lines, and the other would be the even numbered lines. All the odd lines, then all the even lines, are refreshed 60 times per second, alternating between the two. This means the whole video frame refreshes 30 times per second. This is fine for smaller screens but can result in flickering on larger screens.

Progressive scanning (720p & 480p) refreshes the whole video frame (all even and odd horizontal lines) 60 times per second. This eliminates flicker but requires the TV to process more information since twice as many frames are displayed each second.

any given program, the broadcast format may or may not match a format that your HDTV is capable of displaying.

The TiVo DVR offers three types of formats which control how broadcast signals are converted—if at all— for display on your TV.

Native (Recommended). When you use native format, the DVR sends all video in its original broadcast format, with no conversion. Native mode is recommended if your TV supports all four formats. It’s also a good format to choose if you consider yourself an HD novice.

Hybrid. When you use a hybrid format, the DVR converts standard broadcast signals to 480p. It converts HD broadcasts to the HD format you choose. Hybrid is recommended if your TV supports either 720p or 1080i, but not both.

Fixed. When you use a fixed format, the DVR converts signals broadcast in other formats to the fixed format you choose, and video is always displayed in this format. Choose the fixed format that matches your TV’s highest resolution. Using a fixed format eliminates any screen flicker associated with switching formats automatically, as occurs in native or hybrid modes.

See “Video Settings” on page 56 for more.

Native, Hybrid, and Fixed Formats

Just as TV programs are broadcast in a variety of formats, TV equipment receives and displays video in a variety of formats. For

Choose What Looks Best to You

You should feel free to experiment with all the different video formats that your TV and the TiVo DVR support. You may find that some formats are better suited to certain programs than others.

Tour One: Playing with Live TV

When you’re watching a program as it’s broadcast, you’re watching live TV. In this tour, we’ll take a look at how you can control live TV. So turn on your TV and grab your TiVo remote! Press the LIVE TV button to go to live TV from any TiVo screen.

Moving Around in Time

1. First, press the PAUSE button. You can pause live TV for up to 30 minutes!

When you pause live TV, you see a status bar showing a one-hour period. The green segment shows the portion of the current hour that has been saved by your DVR. The white line marks your current point in time. When the white line is back in the green segment, you’re “behind” live TV.

Whenever you change channels, the saved portion of the old program is cleared, and the DVR starts saving the program on the new channel.

2. Press PLAY to continue watching the program. Next, press BACK —the

program rewinds. Press BACK a second time to rewind faster, and a third time to go faster still! Press BACK a fourth time (or press PLAY at any time) to return to normal speed.

3. Press PAUSE once more, then press FORWARD to move a small step forward.

Press BACK to move a small step back. Press PLAY to resume watching at normal speed.

4. Press the INSTANT REPLAY

button. The program jumps back 8 seconds—useful

for when you miss a great sports play or a bit of dialog, or for when you fast forward too far.

5. Press INSTANT REPLAY again, then immediately press SLOW . You’ll see your

own slow-motion replay!

6. Finally, press the ADVANCE

button. Presto! You’re caught up to live TV.

See page 30 for more on the status bar.

When Programs Overlap, Get Both. Even with a dual tuner DVR, you’ll sometimes get recording conflicts. But with Overlap Protection turned on, shows that conflict by just a few minutes are no problem. The DVR automatically clips just enough from one recording to allow both shows to record. Now that’s smart recording technology! See page 50 for details.

Reduce Remote Control Clutter. Now that you’re using your TiVo remote to change channels and control live TV, don’t you want to put your TV’s remote in storage? You probably can.

Finding Programs to Record

The TiVo service makes it easy to find programs you know you like, and to find new programs you might not even know about. You can search for programs by title, by channel, by time, or search for keywords, actors, or directors.

Recording the Program You’re Watching

You can always record the program you’re watching—just press the RECORD button. On the screen that appears, select Record This Showing. Or select Season Pass & Other Options for more choices, or to change the recording quality.

Some programs may not be

recorded or may have other

recording restrictions due to copy

protection rights over the content. See

“Copy Protection and the TiVo® Service”

on page 68 for more information.

There’s no option to change the

recording quality of high-definition

programs.

Recording the Saved Portion

Up to 30 minutes of the current channel’s broadcast is always being saved, even when you’re not recording. When you change channels, the DVR clears the saved portion on the tuner you’re watching and starts saving again on the new channel. So, if the saved portion is important to you, either record the program or don’t change the channel.

To record the saved portion in addition to the rest of the program, you must choose Record This Showing. If you change the Recording Quality (by selecting Season Pass & Other Options), the saved portion of the program won’t be recorded.

Stopping a recording

You can stop any recording in either of two ways: select the title in Now Playing, then select Stop Recording; or, press the RECORD button in live TV, then choose Stop the Current Recording.

Page 23

Using the Guide to Find Programs

The program guide displays up to two weeks of TV programming at the touch of a button—just press the GUIDE button on your TiVo remote. Use the guide to find programs and set up recordings quickly.

To record a program from the guide, highlight its title in the guide, then press RECORD. On the screen that appears, select Record This Showing. After the TiVo service schedules the recording, you’ll return to the guide.

Filter the Guide to Find Programs

Press the GUIDE button, then press ENTER to display the Guide Options. Highlight Choose Filter and press SELECT. Choose category and subcategory filters to highlight certain types of programs in the guide.

You can even set the program not to record if it conflicts with a recording already scheduled on your DVR.

You can use Online Scheduling whether your DVR uses a phone line or broadband Internet connection to connect to the TiVo service. However, if your DVR is connected via a broadband Internet connection, it will check the TiVo service for your recording requests much more often. With a broadband connection, you can schedule a recording within an hour of its air time from any place that you have access to the Internet!

Each time your DVR connects to the

Finding Programs Using a WishList® Search

A WishList search finds programs that match your interests, tastes, and whims on any channel you receive. And it keeps on searching for as long as you keep the WishList search.

For example, you could create a Category Only WishList search for the category Movies and subcategory Comedy. You could then occasionally browse a list of all comedy movies airing in the next two weeks. The list is updated each time your DVR connects to the TiVo service.

You could search for something more specific by creating an Actor WishList search for Sean Connery, and then include the category Movies, and subcategory Action. This WishList search would find action movies starring Sean Connery.

With a Keyword WishList search, you can search for something very specific. For example, the Keyword GIANTS with category Football would find Giants football games, but not Giants baseball games.

Can the WishList Feature Do More Than Search?

Finding Programs

Yes it can! You can set a WishList search to auto-record, and it will record every show it finds, on any channel you receive. For example, with the Sean Connery Actor WishList search, you would automatically collect Sean Connery action movies in the Now Playing List.

Some WishList searches are better suited to auto-recording than others. For example, a Category Only WishList search for the category Documentary would find every upcoming documentary. You might not want to record them all, but you could occasionally browse the search results list and choose the ones you do want to record.

The more specific a WishList

search is, the better suited it is to

auto-recording.

Page 28

Finding Programs

Not all actor or director names may be

listed. To search for a name that is not

on the list, enter the name in the format:

LAST NAME, FIRST NAME. You must match

the spelling of the name exactly, and you

must use a comma (available in the grid

under the letter W).

Creating a WishList Search

From Find Programs, select WishList Search, then Create New WishList. Next, select the type of WishList search you want to create:

• Category Only. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight a category, then press SELECT or

RIGHT arrow to see a subcategories list. Either highlight a subcategory, then press SELECT or RIGHT arrow, or select Don’t Specify a Subcategory.

• Actor or Director. Spell the last name by moving around the grid and pressing SELECT to

enter a letter. As you select letters, a list of names appears to the right of the grid.

When you see the person’s name, press RIGHT arrow until you move to a name in the list. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight the name you want and press SELECT.

• Keyword or Title. For a Keyword WishList search, the TiVo service checks for your

keywords in the program or episode title, description, actor, director, year, and category information. A Title WishList search looks only at program and episode titles.

Spell your keyword(s) using the arrow buttons to move around the grid; then press SELECT to enter the highlighted letter. You can enter as many characters as will fit on the screen. When you’re finished, highlight Done Creating Keywords, then press SELECT.

When using the asterisk (*), be as

specific as possible. For example, do

not use keywords like TH*. There will not

be enough room to show all the results of a

keyword that is too general.

Using the Asterisk (*) in WishList searches

To search for similar words in a Keyword or Title WishList, use the asterisk (*) as a wild card symbol that replaces the endings of words. For example, the keyword AIRP* would find shows containing “airport,” “airplane,” “airplanes,” as well as the movie “Airplane!” To enter an asterisk, press the SLOW button on the remote.

You can use the asterisk only at the end of a keyword; not to omit letters at the beginning or in the middle of a word. (For example, keywords like AIR*NE or *PLANE will not work.)

Page 29

Tips for Entering Keywords

• Use quotation marks to specify an exact phrase in a Keyword or Title WishList search (to enter quotation marks, press PAUSE . For example, the keyword PAUL SIMON might turn up a documentary about Simon Bolivar with a director named Paul. Use “PAUL SIMON” to be certain you find only programs that feature Paul Simon.

• If you include an exact phrase and additional keywords, place a space between the final quotation mark and the beginning of the next word (for example, “GEENA DAVIS” FLY). Enter a space by selecting SP or pressing FORWARD .

• If you enter more than one keyword, the search finds programs that match all of the keywords.

• Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / ) and periods ( . ) with spaces. For example, use the keyword 20 20 to search for the title “20/20.” For an Actor WishList for Catherine ZetaJones, use ZETA JONES, CATHERINE.

• Any other marks, such as apostrophes ( ’ ) and ampersands ( & ), are ignored. For example, you would use the keyword phrase 6 OCLOCK NEWS to search for the title “6 O’Clock News.” (Note that commas ( , ) in titles and keywords are also ignored, except in an actor or director WishList search, where they are essential.)

Finding Programs

If you like music performances, try a

keyword WishList search for

Concert. Choose the category Arts and the

Sub-Category Music.

• For dollar signs ( $ ) substitute the letter S. For example, to find “$100,000 Pyramid,” use S100000. (In Search by Title, skip the dollar signs to find these titles.)

Season PassTM and Repeating Recordings

With your TiVo DVR, you can set up three types of recordings to repeat automatically:

Season Pass Recording. Records every episode of a series that airs on a certain channel— even if the day or time changes! Just select a program from the guide or a list of search results and choose Get a Season Pass.

Manual Repeating Recording. Records on a specific channel at a specific time, just like a VCR. See page 17 for details.

Auto-recording WishList

page 20 for details.

Repeating recordings have the following traits in common:

• Parental Controls. If Parental Controls are on when you schedule a repeating recording, the DVR checks its current program information to see if any upcoming program violates a Parental Control. If it does, the DVR requires the password to continue.

• Set Your Priorities. The TiVo service resolves scheduling conflicts between scheduled repeating recordings by comparing recording priorities. You can change recording priorities with the Season Pass Manager. See page 27 for details.

search. Records all programs found by a WishList search. See

Finding Programs

• Conflict Resolution. If a scheduling conflict occurs while setting up a new repeating recording, you’ll see which programs are involved, and have options to resolve the conflict:

• Record only those episodes that don’t conflict with other programs scheduled to record.

This makes the new repeating recording the lowest priority in the Season Pass Manager.

• Record all episodes. This makes the new repeating recording the highest priority in the

Season Pass Manager.

Page 32

Finding Programs

Using the Season Pass Manager

Use the Season Pass Manager to set priorities and resolve conflicts among your scheduled repeating recordings. Say you have a Season Pass to ER and an auto-recording WishList search for movies with Julia Roberts. What if a Julia Roberts movie happens to conflict with ER?

The TiVo service uses the Season Pass Manager to decide which program to record. If the Julia Roberts WishList search has a higher priority than the ER Season Pass recording, the Julia Roberts movie will be recorded, and ER will not.

To open the Season Pass Manager, use the TiVo button to go to the TiVo Central choose Find Programs, then Season Pass Manager.

Changing the Priority Order

If you don’t change priorities, repeating recordings are prioritized by the order in which you set them up: the first has highest priority, and so on. To change the priority order, use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight a repeating recording. Then press RIGHT arrow to highlight the arrows to the right of the title, and use the UP/DOWN arrows to move the selected title up or down in the list.

Scheduling for Overtime

Two extra recording options are known as the Overtime Scheduler® feature. This is especially helpful for sports fans, but it’s also useful for award shows, live events, or if the network tends to broadcast your favorite program a little off its scheduled start time.

Start Recording. Start recording up to ten minutes before a program is scheduled to begin. (This option is available only before recording starts.)

Stop Recording. Set a recording to continue—for a few minutes or up to three hours—after it’s scheduled to end. For example, you can extend a recording of a sports event and be sure to catch the whole game—even if it goes into overtime. You can change this setting when you set up the recording, or while the recording is in progress!

Saving Programs to Other Devices

If you have a VCR, you can save a program from Now Playing to a videotape. Transfers to a VCR happen in real time. For example, if a program is two hours long, it will take two hours to save it. You will not be able to watch live TV or recordings while saving.

Most of the buttons on your remote that control live TV work as usual during Save to VCR— you can fast forward through the boring parts! The VCR will record the video exactly as it appears, including the status bar, channel banner, and any icons on the screen.

Using Save to VCR

1. Connect a Composite A/V cable from the DVR’s A/V Output jacks to the A/V Input jacks

on your VCR. Your VCR’s A/V Output should already be connected to your TV or A/V receiver (so you can watch video tapes). Make sure your TV or A/V receiver is set to display video from your VCR.

2. Set the VCR to record input from your DVR (see your VCR’s instructions for how to set its input), and insert a videotape.

3. Go to Now Playing, highlight the show you want to save, then press SELECT.

4. Highlight Save to VCR, then press SELECT.

5. Select Start Saving From the Beginning. A title screen appears for ten seconds. When you

see it, start recording on your VCR. When the program is over, stop your VCR.

You can cancel saving to VCR by pressing the LIVE TV or TiVo button on your remote. A videotape icon appears as a warning. Press the same button again and a

confirmation screen appears giving you the option to resume saving at a later time, or cancel saving to VCR. If you choose to cancel saving, be sure to press stop on your VCR as well.

High-definition recordings cannot be

saved to other devices in high-

definition format.

You can use “Save to VCR” feature

with a DVD recorder. Just connect

a DVD recorder to your DVR and follow

the same steps listed here. See your DVD

recorder’s instructions for details on how

to record a DVD.

About CableCARD Decoders

CableCARD decoders receive encrypted digital cable programming and “decode” it for display on your TV without the need for a cable box. With CableCARD decoders inserted, the TiVo DVR essentially becomes a digital cable box.

CableCARD decoders plug into the two slots on the back of the TiVo DVR. See the Start Here poster for details.

CableCARD decoders are available only from your cable company. They replace your digital cable box, and allow you to receive the same programming packages in your subscription.

Changing Your Channel Lineup

If your channel list is incorrect, you can change your channel lineup by repeating parts of Guided Setup. From the Channel List, press ENTER to display the Change Channel Lineup screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to change your channel lineup.

Channel Scan

If you have an antenna connected to your DVR, channel scanning identifies all the channels that the antenna is currently receiving. Signals received via antenna are subject to weather conditions and other environmental factors, so the availability of certain channels may vary. This means that you may see channels appear and disappear from the channel list each time you perform a channel scan.

When the DVR is unable to get a signal for a channel it had previously scanned, that channel is marked with an asterisk ( * ) in the channel list. Try another channel scan at a later time, and the channel may reappear.

Digital antenna channels (also known as ATSC channels) are often represented with a dash. For example, a digital version of local channel 9 might be channel 9-1. Multiple digital versions of local digital antenna channels may be available: 9-2, 9-3, etc. While watching live TV, to change to one of these channels, press to enter a dash.

If there is a change to your cable

subscription package or channel

lineup, a TiVo message will inform you. Use

Channel Settings to ensure that your

Channel List reflects the change to your

Signal Strength

Use the Signal Strength screens to test the incoming signal on specific channels.

Signal Strength - Antenna. The signal strength meter can help you make adjustments to your antenna position to optimize the reception of antenna channels.

Signal Strength - Cable. The signal strength meter can also help diagnose cable signal issues. For example, adding multiple RF splitters to your RF cable source (the cable coming from the wall) can result in reduced signal strength on some channels. Use the meter to check signal strength with and without splitters.

The Overlap ProtectionTM Feature

Being able to record two programs at the same time doesn’t eliminate all possible recording conflicts. The Overlap Protection feature gives you additional options for dealing with recording conflicts when they occur.

• If Overlap Protection is turned off, when two programs overlap by a few minutes (for example, one program ends at 8:33, while the next program begins at 8:30), the lower priority recording is cancelled.

• With Overlap Protection turned on, the DVR automatically clips the lower priority recording by just enough minutes to allow both programs to record.

When scheduling new recordings, the DVR notifies you of any recording conflict and gives you options for resolving it. If Overlap Protection is on, your options include clipping the lower priority program.

Recording Priorities. Overlap Protection works by using the Season Pass Manager (page 24) to determine the priority of each repeating program scheduled to record. One-time recordings are not listed on the Season Pass Manager; these individual recordings that you schedule receive the highest priority. In fact, the most recent individual recording that you requested always has the highest priority. (TiVo Suggestions always have the lowest priority.)

Recording Quality

Use this screen to set your DVR’s default recording quality. You can override the default when scheduling a new recording. See “Setting Recording Options” on page 25. There are four levels of recording quality: Best, High, Medium, and Basic.

Note: These recording quality levels do not apply to high-definition programs.

Basic quality takes up about one-third the space of Best quality, so it gives you about three times the amount of space for programs. You may want to experiment with different levels and then change your default. Some quality settings are better suited for certain kinds of programs, as shown in the suggestions below.

Recording Quality Suggested Use

Basic News

Medium Daytime Talk Shows, Animation

High Dramas, Films

Best Sports, Action Movies

The DVR automatically uses Best Quality in live TV. For recordings, it uses the recording quality you specified for that program using Recording Options. If that quality is not Best, you may notice the difference when recording starts.

TiVo Suggestions

One hour of Best Quality equals about

6 hours of Basic Quality, 2 hours of

Medium Quality, and 1.5 hours of High

Quality. Actual recording capacity depends

on signal quality and the type of

programming being recorded.

There’s no option to change the

recording quality of high-definition

programs.

Use this screen to turn automatic recording of TiVo Suggestions on or off. When automatic recording is on (the default), TiVo Suggestions may be recorded if there’s available space. Remember, recordings you schedule will never be deleted to make room for Suggestions. Also, if space is needed for your recordings, Suggestions are the first programs to be deleted.

Controlling Two DVRs with the DVR Switch

If you have two DVRs, you can set up the remote so that it will only send signals to one of them at a time. This will prevent the remote control from changing channels on both DVRs, and prevent you from accidentally deleting programs you want to keep.

Programming the DVR SWITCH

1. Cover the area around the shiny, dark plastic window on the front of either DVR (call this

DVR #2). Use a dark piece of cloth or a magazine—or anything else thick and opaque. This prevents DVR #2 from receiving signals.

2. Point the remote control at the other DVR (DVR #1) and press the TiVo button. From TiVo

Central, select Messages & Settings, then Account & System Information, then System Information. Press the DOWN arrow until you see Remote Address.

3. Move the DVR SWITCH to 1, then point the remote away from DVR #1 and cover the front

end of the remote with your hand.

4. Press and hold the PAUSE and TiVo buttons simultaneously until the red light at the end of

the remote control comes on, remains steady, then stays on when you release the buttons (about 5 seconds).

8. Move the DVR SWITCH to 2. Repeat steps 4 and 5, above. Assign the number “2” to DVR #2, then press the TiVo button to go to TiVo Central.

Now when you set the DVR SWITCH to 1, it will only control DVR #1—and when you set it to 2, it will only control DVR #2.

Resetting the DVR SWITCH

1. Move the DVR SWITCH to 1.

2. Press and hold the PAUSE and TiVo buttons simultaneously for about three seconds, until

the red light at the end of the remote control comes on and remains steady.

3. Using the number buttons on the remote control, enter 0 (zero). The red light at the end of the remote control will flash to indicate that the DVR SWITCH (either 1 or 2) is reset.

4. To complete the reset, move the DVR SWITCH to 2 and repeat steps 2 and 3.

Learning Remote

The TiVo® Series3TM Digital Media Recorder remote is a “learning remote.” This means that it can learn certain functions from other remotes. If you were unable to find a code that works using the programming procedure on page 52, try this method:

1. Press the TiVo button and SELECT buttons simultaneously, and hold them for 3 seconds,

until the red activity light remains lit. The remote is now in “learning mode.”

2. On the TiVo remote, press and release the button you want it to learn (e.g., TV PWR). The

activity light will flash once to acknowledge the button press, then remain lit.

3. Point the remotes directly at each

other, no more than 4 inches apart.

4. Press the corresponding button on

the TV or A/V receiver remote (e.g., Power).

If learning is successful, the activity light will flash 4 times. If it is not successful, it will blink 10 times very quickly.

5. Repeat steps 2-5 for any additional buttons. NOTE: In learning mode, VOL UP and VOL

DOWN are separate buttons.

6. When done, press the TiVo button to exit learning mode and return the remote to normal

operation.

Aspect Correction Mode

This screen displays the current setting. Aspect Correction is required when the aspect ratio of the program you’re watching doesn’t match the aspect ratio of your TV. Use the ASPECT button on the TiVo DVR remote to cycle through three modes:

•In FULL mode, the picture is stretched to fill the entire TV screen, which may result in some distortion. In the picture of the bears shown here, notice that black bars appear at the top and bottom of the screen, and the bears look a bit squished. Since the Aspect Correction is Full, you know that the letterbox bars are included in the broadcast.

•In PANEL mode, letterbox bars or side bars are added to the picture as necessary to fill the screen, preserving the broadcast aspect ratio. This mode is useful if you’re watching a program broadcast in 4:3 on a 16:9 TV, or vice-versa. In the picture of the bears, notice that when the Aspect Correction is Panel, the bears no longer look squished, but the picture size is dramatically decreased. Shows that include letterbox bars do not benefit from Panel mode.

•In ZOOM mode, the picture is stretched without distortion. The edges of the picture are cropped to fit the TV screen. This mode is useful if you’re watching a program broadcast with letterbox bars or side bars. Zoom mode crops the letterbox bars out of the picture. The picture of the bears looks best in Zoom mode.

Letterbox Color

Choose which color the TiVo DVR should use when it adds letterbox or side bars to the picture: gray or black. Changing the color of the bars can be useful if you’re trying to determine whether bars on the screen are being added by the DVR, or by the broadcaster.

Page 65

TV Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio refers to the proportions of your TV screen. A standard TV screen ratio is 4:3. Widescreen TVs are 16:9. Select the type of screen your TV has.

• Some TVs automatically change their display based on the type of signal they receive: highdefinition or standard. If your 4:3 TV has this feature, you probably notice that it adds bars to the top and bottom of an HD picture. If so, select 4:3 Smart Screen.

• If your TV does not have this feature, you may notice that it squeezes an HD picture into the 4:3 shape. If so, select 4:3 Standard Screen. Check your TV’s manual for its capabilities.

Video Output Format

The TiVo DVR receives video signals in any of the four broadcast formats (1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i). Use this screen to choose which format you want the TiVo DVR to use when sending video to your TV. Consult your HDTV’s owner’s manual for the formats it supports.

• If your TV supports all four video formats, and if you’re an HDTV novice, Native format is recommended. This ensures that your TV will display exactly the digital broadcast format it receives.

• If your TV supports a limited number of formats, choose the Fixed or Hybrid format that best matches your TV’s capabilities.

See “Understanding HDTV” and “Video Formats” on page v at the beginning of this guide.

Video Smoothing

If you see static on some basic cable and analog antenna (NTSC) channels, use this setting to smooth the video, which will decrease the static and improve the picture on these channels. However, it will cause images on all channels to lose some sharpness.

minutes. From time to time, your DVR may

receive service updates. In such cases, the

connection time may be longer.

The Phone & Network screen includes

details about the last successful connection

to the TiVo service.

From the TiVo Central® screen, select Messages & Settings, then Settings, then Phone & Network. The information displayed on the Phone & Network screen depends on how your TiVo DVR is set to connect to the TiVo service: using your home phone line, or using a broadband Internet connection through a home network.

The title of the Phone & Network settings screen reflects the type of connection the DVR is set to use. From this screen you have these options:

• Connect to the TiVo service now. Normally, you don’t need to select this option—the DVR

connects to the TiVo service automatically every other day or so (or every few hours if it connects via broadband Internet). After you start the connection, the status of the connection is displayed. You can watch live TV, set up recordings, and search for programs while the connection is in progress.

• Change phone or network settings. See page 59 and page 61.

• Use network instead. Appears if your DVR is set to connect by phone.

• Use phone instead. Appears if your DVR is set to connect by network.

• Test phone or network connection. Select this to start a test connection to the TiVo service.

You may need to use this option for troubleshooting or if you change your phone or network settings. Test connections are brief.

Dial-In Number. This is the phone number the DVR dials to connect to the TiVo service.

1. Select Dial-In Number. The Area Code screen appears.

2. Use the number keypad on the remote to set the area code, then press SELECT. If you

change area codes, the TiVo DVR will make a brief connection to get a list of dial-in numbers for that area code.

3. Use the UP/DOWN arrow to choose one of the listed phone numbers, then press SELECT.

If your area code has no access numbers, press LEFT arrow to return to the Area Code screen and try a nearby area code.

4. Choose which dialing format the DVR should use.

5. Confirm whether or not you have moved to a different ZIP Code.

6. The DVR then tests the connection by dialing the new number.

Dial Prefix. Select this if you normally dial a prefix before making a phone call (for example, if

you need to dial “9” to get an outside line). Use the number keys on the remote control to enter the prefix. Press the PAUSE button after you have entered the prefix. This will insert a comma, which creates a two second pause after the prefix is dialed.

Call Waiting Prefix. The DVR can disable call waiting while it is connecting to the TiVo service. Without a call waiting prefix, the DVR may drop its connection and allow incoming calls to ring through, depending on your phone system. The DVR will try connecting again later.

In some areas, local and long

distance toll charges may apply. You

are responsible for any telephone charges.

The most common code that phone companies use to disable call waiting is *70 (check with your phone company to find out how to disable call waiting in your area). Press CLEAR to enter

Tone/Pulse Dialing. If your phone system uses pulse dialing rather than tone dialing, change the setting to pulse here. (Most phone systems are tone.)

Availability Detection. When Availability Detection is on, the DVR checks whether the phone line is in use which allows it to avoid disrupting a call in progress.

This setting is off by default. With Availability Detection turned off, if you have another modem call in progress (on your computer or other device), that call may be disrupted if the DVR attempts to call the TiVo service. If you have a standard dial tone, and Availability Detection is off, make sure Dial Tone Detection is on.

Dial Tone Detection. This setting is on by default. If you leave it on, the DVR will check for a dial tone before it starts dialing. However, if you have a non-standard dial tone, or a stuttering dial tone (as some voice messaging systems have), the DVR will be unable to detect the dial tone and will not make its call.

Network Settings

Network Settings are different depending on the type of home network your TiVo DVR is connected to: Wired (Ethernet) or Wireless.

For more information about connecting your DVR to a home network and using Home Media Features, download the Home Media Features Guide at www.tivo.com/guides

Wired (Ethernet) Network Settings

Wired (Ethernet) settings are usually automatic. If you connect an Ethernet cable to the DVR’s Ethernet jack, the DVR will inform you if you need to specify any network settings.

Wireless Network Settings

Firmware Update. If the wireless adapter you connected requires a firmware update, the DVR

informs you. Press SELECT to begin the firmware update.

Wireless Network Name. Wireless networks have a network name (sometimes called an SSID

for Service Set Identifier).

This screen lists the names of nearby wireless networks that your DVR has been able to identify. If you have a wireless router (or wireless access point) and you did not set a network name, your network is probably using a name supplied by the router’s manufacturer.

If your network’s name is listed, select it. (You may be able to see more network names by pressing CHAN DOWN to scroll down the screen.)

Otherwise, select Enter Network Name, then select Done Entering Text when you are finished.

You must use capital and lowercase

letters appropriately when entering a

network name. To find a network named

“My Network” you must capitalize the “M”

and “N”; entering “my network” won’t work.

Use THUMBS UP® and THUMBS DOWN® to

change to uppercase or lowercase.

• Hexadecimal (preferred). Enter a hexadecimal password using the onscreen grid and the

arrow buttons on the remote. It doesn’t matter if a letter is uppercase or lowercase. Some hexadecimal passwords contain only numbers. Select Done Entering Text when you are finished.

• Alphanumeric. Enter an alphanumeric password using the onscreen grid and the arrow

buttons on your remote. You must use capital and lowercase letters appropriately. For example, if your password is “MyPassword”, entering “mypassword” will not work. Use THUMBS UP and THUMBS DOWN to change to uppercase or lowercase. Select Done Entering Text when you are finished.

Copy Protection and the TiVo® Service

The TiVo service allows you to enjoy many kinds of media content: television programs, movies, digital music and photos, and new forms of entertainment delivered by broadband.

Copyright is a form of legal protection provided to the authors of media content. Copyright holders may set limits on how their content may be used. And content providers may restrict or limit the ability to record, display, view or transfer any particular program using a variety of copy protection mechanisms.

Different types of content may require different types of copyright protection. For example, broadcast programs may be encoded with rules that specify how long a program can be saved, whether it can be copied to another device, or whether it can be recorded at all.

TiVo, along with all other licensees of copyright protection technology, respects the rules defined by the copyright holder. As such, the TiVo service incorporates technology that ensures that you are allowed to enjoy the content, and that the copyright holder is protected.

The rest of this chapter provides the full text of the TiVo Privacy Policy and Service Agreement. These documents include more detailed information about copyrighted content accessed through the TiVo service (see section 5 of the TiVo Service Agreement on page 81). To accommodate changes to the TiVo service, the Privacy Policy and Service Agreement are updated from time to time. You can always find the latest versions of these documents online at

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

PREAMBLE

TiVo Inc. (“TiVo”) is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. The TiVo Privacy Policy is published on the World Wide Web at www.tivo.com/privacy. We have printed it here for your convenience, but we encourage you to check the web site or call us for a copy of the current Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the TiVo service (also known as the TiVo Plus service) and/or the TiVo Basic service, as the case may be. For purposes of convenience only, the TiVo service (also known as the TiVo Plus service) and the TiVo Basic service are each referred to individually as the “TiVo service” in this Privacy Policy. Where the Privacy Policy differs depending on the type of service you have, that difference will be noted. Use of your TiVo Privacy Policy as your “TiVo DVR”) with the TiVo service will signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. Thank you for using the TiVo service!

SUMMARY OF THE TIVO PRIVACY POLICY

TiVo knows how important personal privacy is to you, so we have designed our system and established strict policies to help protect the privacy of your Personally Identifiable Viewing Information. In summary, we want you to know that:

• The TiVo DVR collects certain types of information from its users, including Anonymous Viewing Information, Diagnostic Information, Commerce Information, and Service Information (each as defined below).

• TiVo does NOT collect or access any Personally Identifiable Viewing Information (as defined below) from your TiVo DVR, UNLESS YOU SPECIFICALLY GIVE PRIOR CONSENT. Absent your consent,

TiVo does not keep track of what shows you household “Thumbs Down.” NOTE: If your TiVo DVR is receiving the TiVo Basic service, you may not be able to consent to TiVo’s collection of your Personally Identifiable Viewing Information from that TiVo DVR.

• TiVo does collect Anonymous Viewing Information; that is, information about viewing choices made while using your TiVo DVR, BUT THAT DOES NOT IDENTIFY YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL OR HOUSEHOLD. In other words, there is no personally identifiable information associated with your Anonymous Viewing Information that could identify the Anonymous Viewing Information as coming from you or your household. You can elect to block TiVo from collecting Anonymous Viewing Information.

• TiVo also collects Diagnostic Information from a small number of randomly sampled TiVo DVRs for quality control purposes. If you subscribe to the TiVo Plus service and don't want your Anonymous Viewing Information and Diagnostic Information used in any way, simply tell us by writing to us or calling us at 1-877-367-8486.

• If you affirmatively elect to engage in a commercial transaction such as by responding to an advertisement or promotion, TiVo will collect and disclose your Commerce Information (as defined below) to the commerce partner fulfilling the transaction.

• If you affirmatively elect to use the Online Scheduling feature of the TiVo Plus service or download content to your TiVo DVR using a TiVo content delivery service (“CDS”), TiVo will collect the Personally Identifiable Viewing Information associated with fulfillment of your individual request(s). Use of the Online Scheduling feature or content delivery service does not change your privacy preferences with respect to viewing choices made in the privacy of your household. Use of other

—have watched, recorded, or rated with “Thumbs Up” or

—as an individual or

Page 78

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

advanced features, however, may require you to change your privacy preferences.

• TiVo intends to make available new services in the future. These services will be governed by the privacy policies of the respective service providers.

• NOTE TO TIVO BASIC SERVICE CUSTOMERS: If your TiVo DVR is receiving the TiVo Basic service, you may not (i) be able to opt out of our collection of Anonymous Viewing Information and Diagnostic Information from that TiVo DVR, (ii) opt out of your receipt of communications we send you in the event you provide us with Contact Information (though you are not required to provide us with any Contact Information as to that TiVo DVR), (iii) engage in commerce transactions from that TiVo DVR, (iv) use content delivery services with that TiVo DVR; (v) use the Online Scheduling feature with that TiVo DVR, or (vi) be able to change your privacy preferences to allow TiVo to collect Personally Identifiable Viewing Information from that TiVo DVR.

• NOTE TO CUSTOMERS WITH MORE THAN ONE TIVO DVR: Generally, TiVo will cause all of all the TiVo DVRs on your account receiving the TiVo Plus service to have the same “opt” status. See Sec.

2.9 of the Privacy Policy for further details.

TIVO PRIVACY POLICY

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. It provides important information on how your privacy is protected when using the TiVo service.

In order to provide you with a better, more satisfying television experience, TiVo Inc. (“TiVo”) collects and uses certain types of information, as described in this Privacy Policy. The User Information (defined below) you provide to the TiVo Digital Video Recorder (referred to in this Privacy Policy as your “TiVo DVR”) in your house and to us at TiVo enables your

TiVo DVR to select programs you want it to record and, if you are TiVo Plus service user, to suggest programs you might enjoy.

By using your TiVo DVR and the TiVo service, you consent to the provisions of this Privacy Policy including the privacy preferences set forth in Section 4.1. This Privacy Policy explains our commitments to your privacy in the following areas:

1 Our User Information Definitions

In discussing the kind of information TiVo collects, it is important to distinguish between anonymous information and other information that specifically identifies you or your household. Too often people refer to “personal information” or “personally identifiable information” without really making clear what they mean. TiVo has developed the following definitions to help clarify this important issue. We use “User Information” as a general term that refers to any information relating to you or your use of the TiVo service. The following are more specific types of User Information.

1.1 “Account Information” means information about you and your TiVo

DVR, including your Contact Information (defined below) and other information linked to your Contact Information such as the model and Service Number of your TiVo DVR, your ZIP code, software version used, your TV programming source (cable, satellite or an antenna), the type of cable hook-up (digital or analog) and level of TiVo service (TiVo Basic, TiVo Plus, premium services, etc.), privacy preferences, and the cable or satellite box model that you use. You provide us with this information when (a) you set up your TiVo DVR with TiVo Basic service or (b) when you register as a user of the TiVo Plus service. This Service Information (defined below) is sent to TiVo on an ongoing basis to enable TiVo to provide the TiVo service to your TiVo DVR. Account Information also includes information we may receive about you in a communication from you or a Third Party. Account

Page 79

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

Information does not include any Personally Identifiable Viewing Information, or Anonymous Viewing Information, as defined below.

a “Contact Information” means information that allows someone to

identify or contact you, including, for example: your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Contact Information is a subset of Account Information and is thus linked to your TiVo DVR's Service Number. Your ZIP code by itself, while part of your address, is not Contact Information because your ZIP code alone does not allow someone to identify or contact you. NOTE: If your TiVo DVR is receiving the TiVo Basic service, you are not required to provide TiVo with any Contact Information from that TiVo DVR.

b “Service Information” means information necessary for TiVo to

provide service to your TiVo DVR. Examples of Service Information include your software version number, your TV programming source, level of service, and the success status of the last attempted service connection (e.g., periodic call). This information is always transmitted to TiVo when connected to the TiVo servers.

1.2 “Personally Identifiable Viewing Information” means information

about the viewing choices that you and those in your household make while using your TiVo DVR, if that information is linked to or associated with your Account Information. Your TiVo DVR stores your viewing information so that it may recommend viewing choices and personalize your viewing experience. We have worked very hard to design our system to ensure that no Personally Identifiable Viewing Information may be sent to, or collected by, TiVo without your express consent. If you use the TiVo Plus service, you may choose to consent to TiVo's collection of Personally Identifiable Viewing Information by changing your privacy preferences. NOTE: If your TiVo DVR is

receiving the TiVo Basic service, you may not be able to consent to TiVo’s collection of Personally Identifiable Viewing Information from that TiVo DVR.

1.3 “Anonymous Viewing Information” means information about

viewing choices that you and those in your household make while using your TiVo DVR, but is not associated with or linked to any Contact Information. Your TiVo DVR sends Anonymous Viewing Information to TiVo on an ongoing basis. This information allows TiVo to know that a TiVo service user from a particular ZIP code watched certain programming but we are unable to associate those viewing choices with you. If you use the TiVo Plus service, you may request that TiVo block the collection of Anonymous Viewing Information from your TiVo DVR. NOTE: If your TiVo DVR is receiving the TiVo Basic service, you may not opt out of TiVo's collection of Anonymous Viewing Information from that TiVo DVR.

1.4 “Diagnostic Information” means a log file containing detailed

information about the operation of your TiVo DVR, such as memory consumption, user interface response time, disk space, enclosure temperature, and enclosure fan speed. Diagnostic Information logs contain your TiVo DVR’s Service Number and are thus associated with your Account Information. If you use the TiVo Plus service, you may request that TiVo block the collection of Diagnostic Information logs from your TiVo DVR as described in Section 4.1. NOTE: If your TiVo DVR is receiving the TiVo Basic service, you may not opt out of TiVo's collection of Diagnostic Information from that TiVo DVR.

1.5 “Commerce Information” means personally identifiable information

that enables a commerce partner to fulfill your request to participate in a promotion or transaction. From time to time, TiVo may present special offers and/or enable you to purchase goods and services from TiVo, or Third Party advertisers or promoters. You would be informed of such

Page 80

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

offers on screen while using the TiVo Plus service. Should you decide to take advantage of such an offer or engage in a transaction, TiVo will collect and communicate your relevant Contact Information and your interest in a specific offer or transaction to the commerce partner sponsoring the promotion or transaction. In addition to fulfilling your request, that commerce partner may also use your Commerce Information to send you other information in which you might be interested consistent with its own privacy policies. This information is collected and disclosed by TiVo only upon your affirmative response to an offer. NOTE: Depending on your level of TiVo service and the model of your TiVo DVR, such features may not be available to you.

1.6 “Feature-Generated Request Information” means personally

identifiable information about television programming or other content that you request your TiVo DVR to record or identify using a content delivery service, a feature offered by a Third Party, or using certain TiVo features, such as TiVo Online Scheduling. Should you decide to use such a feature or service, TiVo will collect the Personally Identifiable Viewing Information associated with the fulfillment of your recording (or scheduling conflict) request. TiVo may use this Personally Identifiable Viewing Information as described in Section

2.2. If the feature or service is offered by a Third Party, TiVo will communicate to the Third Party the necessary Personally Identifiable Viewing Information to complete the transaction. In the case of Third Party service providers, the use of this information will be governed by the privacy policy of the respective Third Party service provider. TiVo collects this information only upon your affirmative choice to use a particular feature. NOTE: Depending on your level of TiVo service and the model of your TiVo DVR, such features may not be available to you.

2 Use of User Information

2.1 Account Information.

and provide you with your TiVo service, provide the necessary resources to your TiVo DVR, offer you new services when they are available, and other legitimate business purposes. For example, we use your e-mail address to communicate with you regarding new services, and to exclude you from offers for services you may already have. If you use the TiVo Plus service, we also use such information to create your account with TiVo and to bill you for the TiVo Plus service. Knowing your ZIP code, programming source, and information about your cable or satellite box model allows us to determine which programming information (e.g., times and channels of programs) to send to your TiVo DVR.

We use your Account Information to communicate with you about upcoming features in the TiVo service or promotions that might interest you. If you use the TiVo Plus service, you may opt not to receive communications in the future as explained in Section 4.1. We also use your Account Information in aggregate form (i.e., excluding any Contact Information) to generate demographic profiles of our users as a whole to assist us to, for example, identify future users of the TiVo service or other services. NOTE: If your TiVo DVR is receiving the TiVo Basic service, and you choose to provide us with Contact Information, you may not opt out from receiving communications in the future. However, you are not required to provide us with any Contact Information so long as that TiVo DVR is receiving the TiVo Basic service.

We use your Account Information to establish

2.2 Personally Identifiable Viewing Information. Your TiVo DVR uses

your viewing information to tune, schedule, and record programs. If you have the TiVo Plus service, your TiVo DVR also uses your viewing information to recommend programs for you. Your TiVo DVR may

Page 81

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

also use this viewing information to select advertisements or other promotions for you that you may be interested in. TiVo does not receive the Personally Identifiable Viewing Information stored on your TiVo DVR without your consent. Absent your consent, no “tag” is added to the Anonymous Viewing Information transmitted from your TiVo DVR to TiVo that would enable TiVo to identify the TiVo DVR from which it came.

The collection of Personally Identifiable Viewing Information is necessary for the use of certain advanced TiVo features. You will be asked to change your privacy preferences to allow TiVo to collect your Personally Identifiable Viewing Information before you can use these advanced features. If you expressly choose to allow TiVo to collect your Personally Identifiable Viewing Information, TiVo may use this information to provide the requested services as well as for surveys, audience measurement, and other legitimate business purposes. However, TiVo will not sell or otherwise disclose your Personally Identifiable Viewing Information to Third Parties (as defined in Section

3.1) without your express consent.

2.3 Anonymous Viewing Information. We use Anonymous Viewing

Information to develop reports and analyses about what programs, advertisements, and types of programming our users (as a whole or in subgroups) watch or skip, for other programming or advertising research, and for any other legitimate business purpose. For example, we use Anonymous Viewing Information to develop inferences that people who watch show X also watch show Y. We also use Anonymous Viewing Information to help with the investigation of technical issues with our systems.

2.4 Diagnostic Information. TiVo collects Diagnostic Information logs

from a small number of randomly sampled TiVo DVRs for quality control and technical troubleshooting purposes.

2.5 Commerce Information. TiVo uses Commerce Information as

described in Section 1.5.

2.6 Feature Generated Requests Information. TiVo uses Feature

Generated Request Information for the purposes described in Section

1.6.

2.7 Activating the TiVo Plus Service. When you activate a TiVo DVR

that was receiving TiVo Basic service to receive the TiVo Plus service, and it is the only TiVo DVR on your account receiving the TiVo Plus service, your TiVo DVR will provide Anonymous Viewing Information and Diagnostic Information to TiVo. You may opt in to the collection of Personally Identifiable Viewing Information or opt out of TiVo’s collection of Anonymous Viewing Information and Diagnostic Information pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

2.8 Reverting to the TiVo Basic Service. If you decide to terminate your

TiVo Plus service, and your TiVo DVR is eligible to receive the TiVo Basic service, that TiVo DVR will retain the opt status that it had when the TiVo Plus service is terminated. NOTE: Your TiVo DVR may not be eligible to receive the TiVo Basic service. Consult your User’s Guide to determine if your TiVo DVR is eligible to receive the TiVo Basic service.

2.9 TiVo Customers with Multiple TiVo DVRs. TiVo will cause all of the

TiVo DVRs on your account to have the same “opt” status. This means that if you opt out of our collection of Anonymous Viewing Information and Diagnostic Information from one TiVo DVR, we will not collect Anonymous Viewing Information and Diagnostic Information from any of the TiVo DVRs. If you request that TiVo collect your Personally Identifiable Viewing Information from one TiVo DVR, TiVo will collect Personally Identifiable Viewing Information from all of the TiVo DVRs on your account.

3 Disclosure of User Information

3.1 Generally.

aggregated Anonymous Viewing Information and any reports or analyses derived therefrom, to unaffiliated third parties including advertisers, broadcasters, consumer and market research companies and other organizations (“Third Parties”).

We disclose aggregated Account Information and

3.2 Manufacturing and Service Provider Partners. In certain instances

we will disclose to our hardware manufacturing partners and service provider partners (for example DIRECTV) the Account Information of users who have a DVR made by that manufacturing partner or receive a service from that service provider partner. However, TiVo contractually binds our manufacturing and service provider partners to comply with the provisions of this Privacy Policy. Our manufacturing and service provider partners are legally liable for misuse of User Information.

3.3 Contractors and Vendors. We use contractors to help with some of

our operations. Some of these contractors will have access to our databases of User Information on a temporary basis for specific tasks. TiVo also uses vendors to help with certain aspects of its operations, which may require disclosure of your User Information to them. For example, TiVo may use a vendor to communicate with you (via telephone, e-mail, or letter) about your TiVo service or upcoming features or services, to mail rebate checks, to generate demographic profiles based on User Information of current TiVo service users, and to perform other work that we may need to outsource. If you are a TiVo Plus service user, TiVo may additionally use a vendor to process and collect payment for your TiVo Plus service via your credit card. TiVo contractually binds these contractors and vendors to use your User Information only as necessary to perform the services they are asked to perform. Such contractors and vendors are legally liable for misuse of User Information.

3.4 The “Corporate Family.” TiVo may share some or all of your User

Information with any parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (collectively “Affiliates”). In such event, TiVo will require its Affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. If another company acquires TiVo, or acquires assets of TiVo that comprise or include your User Information, that company will possess the User Information collected by TiVo and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your User Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

3.5 Commerce Partners. When you elect to participate in a special offer

or engage in a transaction with TiVo or a Third Party advertiser or promoter, TiVo will collect and disclose your Commerce Information to the commerce partner sponsoring and/or fulfilling the promotion. In addition to fulfilling your request, that commerce partner may also use your Commerce Information to send you other information in which you might be interested consistent with its own privacy policies. This information is disclosed only upon your affirmative response to an offer. NOTE: Depending on your level of TiVo service and the model of your TiVo DVR, such features may not be available to you.

3.6 Factors Beyond Our Control. Your privacy is very important to us.

Due to factors beyond our control, however, we cannot fully ensure that your User Information will not be disclosed to Third Parties. For example, we may be legally obligated to disclose User Information to local, state or federal governmental agencies or Third Parties under certain circumstances (including in response to a subpoena), or Third Parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access your User Information.

4 Your Choices Regarding User Information

4.1 Limits on TiVo’s Collection, Use, and Disclosure of User Information.

The default privacy preferences, to which you hereby

consent, do not allow TiVo to collect Personally Identifiable Viewing Information, but do allow TiVo to collect, use, and disclose Anonymous Viewing Information and Diagnostic Information logs, in addition to Account Information, in manners consistent with this Privacy Policy. Commerce Information is collected, used, and disclosed only upon your affirmative response to an offer. Feature-Generated Request Information is collected, used, and disclosed only upon your affirmative choice to use a particular feature. NOTE: Depending on your level of TiVo service and the model of your TiVo DVR, such features may not be available to you. You may be asked to change your privacy preference should you choose to select certain features that will require TiVo to collect certain Personally Identifiable Viewing Information in order to customize your viewing experience.

Even though Anonymous Viewing Information and Diagnostic Information do not include any Contact Information, if your TiVo DVR is receiving the TiVo Plus service, you may request that TiVo block the collection of Anonymous Viewing Information and Diagnostic Information from your TiVo DVR. If your TiVo DVR is receiving the TiVo Plus service, you may further opt not to receive communications that we send to you based on your Account Information; provided, however, that we will still send you communications TiVo deems important regarding your TiVo Plus service. If you make this choice, you understand that we will not be able to inform you about any upcoming features, improvements, or promotions regarding your TiVo Plus service. In all cases, however, we will collect and use your Account Information (including Service Information) to enable us to provide your TiVo DVR with the TiVo Basic service and the TiVo Plus service. If your TiVo DVR is receiving the TiVo Plus service, you may choose to change your privacy preferences to allow TiVo to collect Personally Identifiable Viewing Information from your TiVo DVR.

If you are a TiVo Plus customer and you would like to change your privacy preferences, you may (a) send TiVo a signed written request at the address set forth in Section 8.3, or (b) call us at 1-877-367-8486 to request a change. NOTE: Please see Sections 2.7, 2.8, and 2.9 above for important provisions if you have a TiVo DVR eligible to receive the TiVo Basic service and if you have multiple TiVo DVRs.

4.2 Review and Update of Account Information. We believe you have

a right to know your Contact Information, billing information, and privacy preferences collected and stored by TiVo and to update or change such information you believe is incorrect. You may make a request by telephone, mail, or via the web (if and when available) to review such information and we will mail you a printout of such information. If you request that certain parts of such information be changed, we will make the changes to the extent commercially practicable. In addition, we will take commercially reasonable steps to propagate those changes to Third Parties with whom we may have shared such information pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

4.3 How to Delete Information. Should you decide to discontinue your

TiVo Plus service, you may make that request by telephone or mail and we will suspend billing for the TiVo Plus service. After you discontinue the TiVo service, TiVo will maintain your Account Information only as long as necessary for business purposes. In addition, although we delete your Account Information from our “live” database, your Account Information may remain in our archives and records until they are destroyed. NOTE: If your TiVo DVR is eligible to receive the TiVo Basic service then upon termination of the TiVo Plus service you may elect to continue receiving the TiVo Basic service. In such a case, TiVo may maintain your TiVo Plus service Account Information until such time as your TiVo Basic service is terminated. Consult your User’s Guide to determine if your TiVo DVR is eligible to receive the TiVo Basic service.

TiVo feels strongly about protecting the privacy of children and encourages parents to be involved in the television viewing of their minor children by, for example, limiting the types of content minor children can watch.

6 Separate Rules for the TiVo Web Site.

We have a separate privacy policy that covers activities on our web site. However, if you register for TiVo service on the Web, or log in to your account preferences page (when available) to make changes to your account or request services, this Privacy Policy will apply to the User Information you provide to us in those instances.

7 Home Network Applications.

TiVo DVRs connected to a home network may be able to discover Third Party applications on your personal computer or other network servers that can be accessed on your DVR. These applications are identified on the TiVo menu with a computer icon and may not conform to TiVo’s privacy policy. You understand and acknowledge that TiVo is not responsible for any such Third Party applications you choose to access. We caution you not to enter any personal or sensitive information (such as social security or credit card numbers) while using an application unless you have verified it is from a source that you trust.

8 Security of User Information.

When you contact us by e-mail or phone regarding your TiVo service, we ask you for certain Account Information-in order to verify your identitybefore accepting requests to make changes to your TiVo service. We take these steps to ensure that only you or a household member who knows your

Account Information will be able to access or change your User Information.

TiVo uses industry-standard methods such as encryption to secure the communication of viewing information from your TiVo DVR to TiVo. In addition, TiVo uses industry-standard methods of securing its databases of User Information, including the use of firewalls. Except as provided elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, TiVo limits access to User Information databases to those persons in the TiVo organization who have a business need for such access, including servicing your account, informing you of service news and special TiVo offers, or aggregating Account Information or Anonymous Viewing Information for the purpose of conducting research, and targeting new users. However, you should know that no company, including TiVo, can fully eliminate security risks associated with User Information.

TiVo Service Agreement

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to TiVo and the TiVo service! This agreement explains the terms and conditions that will apply to your use of the TiVo service, and constitutes a legally binding agreement between you and TiVo Inc. (“TiVo”). By using the TiVo service, you agree to all the terms and conditions in this agreement (“Agreement”).

THE TIVO SERVICE AND THE PRIVACY POLICY

1 Terms of Service. The TiVo

(your “TiVo DVR”) means that it can receive the TiVo service offered and provided by TiVo for personal, non-commercial use on a subscription basis. Your activation and continued use of the TiVo service is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. TiVo may at its discretion change the terms of this Agreement.

another individual, the seller will be able to schedule recordings to the TiVo DVR until you contact TiVo and have the TiVo service subscription for the TiVo DVR transferred to your own account.

3.2 Graphical Elements. From time to time, your TiVo DVR may cause

graphics and/or text to be superimposed over commercial advertisements or present you with other advertising viewing options. For example, graphic “tags” may permit you to press the Thumbs Up button to (i) schedule a recording of an advertised program; (ii) view special video clips or other information about the advertised product or service; and/or (iii) perform some other action. Any such tags are placed on top of the commercial advertisements by TiVo or its licensees on behalf of the advertiser and not at the direction of any other party.

3.3 Network-Enabled TiVo Service Features (includes Home Media and TiVoToGo™ features).

DVR to use any network-enabled TiVo service features such as Home Media (including Multi-Room Viewing (see Section 3.3.1 below), access to PC-Based Media (see Section 3.3.2 below)), and TiVoToGo feature (see Section 3.3.3 below). A network-enabled TiVo DVR has an established network connection through the TiVo DVR's built-in USB port (including a wired (Ethernet) or wireless USB network adapter); is running a TiVo software version that supports home networking; and has an active subscription to the TiVo service. Some network-enabled TiVo service features require installation of the then-current TiVo Desktop application (www.tivo.com/desktop is connected to the same home network as your TiVo DVR. Some TiVo service features require a broadband connection to the Internet through the home network. The Multi-Room Viewing feature requires two network-enabled TiVo DVRs that are enabled for Multi-Room Viewing. The TiVoToGo feature requires a TiVo DVR that is running a TiVo software version that supports that feature.

You must have a network-enabled TiVo

) on a home computer that

Not all TiVo DVRs are able to use network-enabled features. Moreover, even among TiVo's network-enabled DVRs, the Multi-Room Viewing feature may not permit particular TiVo DVRs to transfer content among one another due to compatibility issues among manufacturers or copy protection mechanisms used by copyright owners, studios or broadcasters. In addition, the TiVoToGo feature may not permit particular TiVo DVRs to transfer content to home computers for the same reasons. Please visit our TiVo Home Media Features FAQs at

www.tivo.com/mediafaq

The Multi-Room Viewing and TiVoToGo features are also turned on by default when you subscribe to the TiVo service. You may turn these features off using Manage My Account at www.tivo.com/manage

for details.

3.3.1Multi-Room Viewing Feature. You must have at least two (2) TiVo

network-enabled DVRs each with a TiVo service subscription to take advantage of the Multi-Room Viewing feature. The Multi-Room Viewing feature is intended solely to enable the transfer of content among TiVo DVRs within a single household. Using the Multi-Room Viewing feature, you may transfer content only among TiVo DVRs on the same TiVo account and only among TiVo DVRs on the same network subnet. For example, if one TiVo DVR in your home resides on your network at 192.168.1.5, any TiVo DVR used for Multi-Room Viewing must reside on that same network, having an IP address of

192.168.1.x. Any TiVo DVR that resides on a different network, such as a TiVo DVR with an IP address of 192.168.2.5, is not permitted to participate in Multi-Room Viewing.

In addition, you may only transfer content among ten (10) TiVo DVRs on a single TiVo account within your household. Unauthorized transfers or distribution of copyrighted works outside of your home may constitute an infringement of the rights of copyright holders. TiVo reserves the right to terminate the TiVo service accounts of users who

Page 88

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

transfer or distribute content in violation of this Agreement—either to an unauthorized device or otherwise.

3.3.2 Access to PC-Based Media. Access to media that is stored on your

home computer (“PC-based media”) via your TiVo DVR is provided through the TiVo Desktop application, which is available at

www.tivo.com/desktop

access PC-based media from your TiVo DVR via your home network.

The TiVo Desktop application itself does not contain any security mechanisms that would prevent third parties from accessing your home network. If your home network has Internet access but does not include a firewall, information on your home network can be easily seen by anyone on the Internet. Most firewall products stop all traffic originating from the Internet, protecting your systems from malicious network attacks or curious browsers interested in the files you have on your computer. A firewall can be installed to protect an individual computer or to protect a whole home network. Because the TiVo Desktop application makes media (e.g., music, photos) you publish to your TiVo DVR available on your home network, TiVo recommends that you install a firewall that protects your home network. If your network does not include a firewall, Internet users may be able to access PC-based media on your network or other information on your computer, such as personal financial data. TiVo strongly suggests you take steps to protect your home network from unwanted intruders. Routers and home gateways, available at most electronics stores, may include a firewall meant to protect your home network.

Some third-party PC-based applications may also enable access to PCbased media through your TiVo. Such applications may or may not include built-in security mechanisms. TiVo is not responsible for and does not warrant the use, behavior, or performance of such applications.

. The TiVo Desktop application permits you to

TiVo service features that enable access to PC-based media are intended solely to enable you to access media that resides on your home computer for personal, noncommercial use. The feature is not intended to be used for listening to or viewing music, photographs, video, or other media from third party sources including, but not limited to, Internet streaming, webcasting, peer-to-peer or any other form of transmission of content. Viewing or listening to media from third party sources could subject your TiVo DVR and/or home computer to harm and may infringe the copyrights of third parties.

3.3.3 TiVoToGo Feature. The TiVoToGo feature is intended to enable you

to transfer a copy of a program that you have recorded on a TiVo DVR to one or more home computers or other portable viewing devices (collectively referred to as “Personal Viewing Devices”) within the same household using the TiVo Desktop application. Once a copy of a program is stored on a home computer, the TiVo Desktop application enables you to select the program for viewing on Personal Viewing Devices using third party media player applications. TiVo is not responsible for and does not warrant the use, behavior, or performance of such third party applications.

Using the TiVoToGo feature, you may transfer content only between TiVo DVRs to Personal Viewing Devices on the same network subnet. For a discussion of network subnets, please see Section 3.3.1 above. The TiVoToGo feature is provided solely for personal, non-commercial use. Unauthorized transfers or distribution of copyrighted works outside of your home may constitute an infringement of the rights of copyright holders. TiVo reserves the right to terminate the TiVo service accounts of users who transfer or distribute content in violation of this Agreement

The TiVoToGo feature includes security measures designed to prevent infringement of copyrighted works. You agree not to take any steps to

—either to an unauthorized device or otherwise.

Page 89

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

defeat any TiVo security measures or to use any third party applications that may bypass any TiVo security measures.

Not all programs may be transferred using the TiVoToGo feature. For example, programs that include copy protection mechanisms may not be transferred to a Personal Viewing Device using the TiVoToGo feature. Similarly, programs that may be blocked using Parental Controls may not be transferred to a Personal Viewing Device using the TiVoToGo feature. Before such programs may be transferred using the TiVoToGo feature, you must temporarily turn Parental Controls off. The TiVo Desktop application does not include Parental Controls for programs stored on your home computer. If you do not want minors to view particular programs on a Personal Viewing Device, do not transfer them using the TiVoToGo feature.

Your home computer must meet certain minimum technical requirements and you must have adequate storage space available on your home computer to use the TiVoToGo feature. Because your home computer may need available space on your home computer’s storage device to run properly and accommodate routine tasks, TiVo recommends that you carefully monitor the amount of available storage on your home computer. The programs transmitted from your TiVo DVR may require large amounts of space relative to other files on your home computer, and the TiVo Desktop application does not monitor the amount of available storage on your home computer. You agree that TiVo is not responsible for your inability to use the TiVoToGo feature or your home computer based on lack of available storage on your home computer or your home computer's failure to meet the minimum technical requirements.

3.3.4 Note About Privacy and TiVo Desktop Application. Please review

TiVo’s Privacy Policy located at www.tivo.com/privacy incorporated herein by reference. Unless you have changed your

, which is

privacy preferences, when you use the features enabled by the TiVo Desktop application, TiVo collects anonymous information about the use of these features, but that does not identify you as an individual or household. This anonymous information is treated the same as Anonymous Viewing Information under TiVo’s Privacy Policy. In other words, there is no personally identifiable information associated with this data that could identify the data as coming from you or your household.

4 We Don't Control Third-Party Content! The TiVo service gives you

the ability to access audio, video, and other media over which TiVo exercises no editorial or programming control (“Third Party Content”). You understand that: (a) TiVo does not guarantee the access to or the ability to record, display, or transfer any particular program; (b) programming is not under TiVo’s control; (c) programming providers may restrict or limit the ability to record, display, view or transfer particular programs by using a variety of copy protection mechanisms; (d) content providers may restrict or revoke access to their content at any time; (e) TiVo is not responsible for and has no editorial control over any Third Party Content; and (f) TiVo has no control over the distribution of such content. You agree that TiVo will have no liability to you, or anyone else who uses your account and TiVo DVR, with regard to any Third Party Content.

5 Third Party Content Is Copyrighted. You also understand that the

Third Party Content is the copyrighted material of the third party that supplies it, is protected by U.S. copyright law and other applicable laws, and may not be reproduced, used to prepare derivative works, distributed, performed publicly or displayed publicly without the written permission of the third party that supplied it, except to the extent allowed under the “fair use” provisions of the U.S. copyright laws, other limitations on exclusive copyrights in the U.S. copyright laws, or comparable provisions of foreign laws. You hereby agree and declare that any and all Third Party Content accessed or transferred using the TiVo service or the TiVo Desktop application are for personal, non-

Page 90

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

commercial use and that the TiVo service or the TiVo Desktop application will not be used for Third Party Content to be copied or displayed before a public audience without authorization from the appropriate rights holder. Unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted works may constitute an infringement of the copyright holders' rights. TiVo reserves the right to terminate the accounts of users of any TiVo service or software who infringe the copyrights of others. In addition, steps intended to defeat or bypass security measures which are designed to prevent infringement of copyrighted works may be illegal under U.S. law or comparable foreign laws. TiVo reserves the right to terminate the TiVo service accounts of users who develop or use any method to defeat or bypass such security measures and to take any other necessary or appropriate action to prevent infringement of copyright holders’ rights.

6 Changes to Your TiVo Service. TiVo may at its discretion and from

time to time change, add, or remove features and functionality of the TiVo service or the TiVo DVR without notice. If you are dissatisfied with any such changes to the TiVo service, you may immediately cancel your use of the TiVo service as provided in Section 14 (“Termination of Service”). TiVo reserves the right to discontinue one, some, or all of the features of the TiVo service you receive at any time at its discretion. TiVo may at its discretion discontinue the provision of software updates to certain TiVo DVRs. This means that while other TiVo DVRs may receive continued software updates and functionality; TiVo is not required to provide such updates to your TiVo DVR. Additionally, the level of service TiVo provides may not be the same on each TiVo DVR; a given TiVo DVR may support different features and functionality, and TiVo is under no obligation to provide all features and functionality to your TiVo DVR.

ACTIVATING AND USING THE TIVO SERVICE

7 Eligible Subscribers. You must be at least 18 years of age to assume

the responsibilities of this Agreement. Minors may use the TiVo service only if one of their parents or legal guardians assumes the

responsibilities of this Agreement and thereby assumes full responsibility for the minor's use of the TiVo service.

8 Subscription Fees and Service Commitment. You agree to pay your

subscription fee in advance. Your subscription fee will cover the TiVo service received via a TiVo DVR authorized by TiVo to enable the TiVo service. You have a choice of subscription payment options that may change over time. TiVo reserves the right to discontinue any subscription payment option at any time without notice. You may switch payment options at the end of each period. If for any reason you need to reactivate your subscription, you may be charged a reactivation fee. If you are signing up for the TiVo service under a promotional subscription fee, some additional restrictions may apply. If you have multiple TiVo service subscriptions under the same account information, additional terms and conditions may apply. Whatever your subscription payment option, your subscription fee does not include any services, features or functionality other than the TiVo service. WITH RESPECT TO ANY NEW TIVO SERVICE SUBSCRIPTION ACTIVATED ON OR AFTER SEPTEMBER 6, 2005, YOU AGREE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE TIVO SERVICE FOR NO LESS THAN 12 MONTHS OR LONGER DEPENDING UPON YOUR SERVICE SUBSCRIPTION PLAN (THE “SERVICE COMMITMENT”). IF YOU FAIL TO MEET THE SERVICE COMMITMENT BY CANCELLING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE TIVO SERVICE (OR IF TIVO TERMINATES YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE TIVO SERVICE DUE TO A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT), YOU AGREE THAT TIVO MAY CHARGE YOU THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE AGREED TO BY YOU AT THE TIME YOU SUBSCRIBED TO THE TIVO SERVICE, AND YOU AGREE TO PAY ANY SUCH EARLY TERMINATION FEE.

9 Telephone Access and Possible Charges. The TiVo service is

accessed through a standard telephone line and is available as a local call in most areas. In some areas, local and long-distance toll charges may apply. The TiVo service may also be available through the Internet with a broadband connection. However, TiVo does not make any

Page 91

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

assurances about the availability or functionality of the TiVo service over a broadband connection. Firewall protection is strongly advised for any broadband Internet connections to protect your TiVo DVR from viruses and other harmful things. You are responsible for any telephone or broadband service charges incurred as a result of using or accessing the TiVo service and acknowledge and agree that you shall be solely responsible for all disputes with any telephone company or Internet service provider related to the same.

10 Payment Authorization. If you choose a subscription option with

recurring payments (including any pre-paid subscription option which reverts to a monthly payment plan at the expiration of the pre-paid period), you agree that TiVo may automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit or charge card at the beginning of each period. Your TiVo service access will not be established until TiVo has verified that the credit card information you provide us for payment is accurate and that your credit card account is in good standing. You further agree that TiVo may charge any other applicable fees, including any early termination fee, to your credit card. TiVo may, as necessary, extend the expiration date of your credit card in order to ensure continued service. TiVo may, at its discretion, change the TiVo service fees, early termination fee, restocking fee and any other fee, from time to time, and charge fees (which TiVo may also change) for features and functionalities that are not a part of the TiVo service. TiVo will notify you 30 days in advance of any fee changes or new fees applicable to your TiVo service subscription; you may obtain the fees currently in effect at any time by contacting TiVo Customer Support at 1-877-367-

8486. TiVo reserves the right to suspend or terminate your TiVo service without notice upon rejection of any credit card charges or if your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously made to TiVo when TiVo believes you are liable for the charges. You agree to pay a late charge on all amounts due which remain unpaid for 30 days. The late charge will equal 1.5% of the past due amount, or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is less, per month until paid.

Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal right or remedies available to TiVo. TiVo reserves the right to refer your account to a third party for collection in the event of an ongoing default.

11 Using the TiVo Service. You may access and use the TiVo service only

with a TiVo DVR that is authorized to receive the TiVo service and you agree not to tamper with or otherwise modify your TiVo DVR. Among other things, this means that you may access and use the program guide information only on a TiVo DVR that is authorized to receive it. The TiVo service is provided for your personal, non- commercial use, and may not be resold, in whole or in part. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you may not transfer the TiVo service. By using the TiVo service, you agree to receive all software updates and upgrades that TiVo sends to your TiVo DVR. If your TiVo DVR accesses the TiVo service (regardless of your payment or subscription status), you acknowledge and agree that you are a user of the TiVo service and are bound by the terms of this Agreement.

12 Advertising and Promotions. The TiVo service is advertiser

supported. The hard disk drive of your TiVo DVR contains reserved space in addition to the advertised recording capacity. TiVo reserves the right to send content (including advertising and promotional material) to such reserved portions of your TiVo DVR's hard disk drive as part of the TiVo service. In order to send such content, you agree that TiVo may tune your TiVo DVR to a particular channel at a particular time.

13 Product Lifetime Subscriptions. A “Product Lifetime Subscription”

to the TiVo service covers the life of the TiVo DVR you buy-not the life of the subscriber. The Product Lifetime Subscription accompanies the TiVo DVR in case of ownership transfer. The subscription remains in effect if the TiVo DVR needs to be repaired or replaced due to a malfunction (see manufacturer or retailer warranty details) or even if you upgrade your TiVo DVR to increase storage capacity (though such upgrades, if not performed by TiVo or a TiVo-authorized third party, will void the warranty on your TiVo DVR and constitute a breach of this Agreement). Because a Product Lifetime Subscription is linked to a

Page 92

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

particular TiVo DVR, you may not transfer it to any other TiVo DVR unless all the following conditions apply: (a) the TiVo DVR is being replaced pursuant to the manufacturer's or retailer's warranty; and (b) the TiVo DVR being replaced is of the same make and model as the replacement TiVo DVR; and (c) you provide us with a proof of replacement by the manufacturer or retailer. TiVo reserves the right to charge you a fee to transfer Product Lifetime Service from a TiVo DVR being replaced to a replacement TiVo DVR. Each TiVo DVR purchased requires its own TiVo service subscription and activation. Of course, hardware products don't last forever and their lifespan will vary. TiVo makes no warranties or representations as to the expected lifetime of the TiVo DVR (aside from the manufacturer’s or retailer’s warranty).

14 Termination of Service. Subject to any Service Commitment to which

you may be bound, you may terminate your account, this Agreement, and your right to use the TiVo service, at any time and for any reason or no reason, by contacting TiVo Customer Support at 1-877-367-8486. The TiVo service will be terminated within 24 hours after your call and unused subscription fees are nonrefundable. If you terminate your account or this Agreement before meeting any applicable Service Commitment, TiVo reserves the right to charge you the early termination fee agreed to by you at the time you subscribed to the TiVo service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, TiVo retains the absolute right to immediately suspend or terminate your account, and terminate this Agreement, if the charges to your credit card for the fees described in Section 8 (“Subscription Fees and Service Commitment”) and Section 10 (“Payment Authorization”) are refused for any reason, if you breach any provision in this Agreement, if you misuse the TiVo service, and/or if you alter your TiVo DVR or use the TiVo service or software in such a manner as to infringe upon the intellectual property rights of TiVo or any third party. In addition, TiVo reserves the right to terminate your account and this Agreement for any other reason or no reason if TiVo gives you at least 30 days advance notice of such termination. Upon any such termination of your account,

you will remain obligated to pay all outstanding fees and charges relating to your use of the TiVo service before termination.

OWNERSHIP, OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE, DISCLAIMERS AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS

15 Title to Software and Intellectual Property. You may need to use

certain software programs in your TiVo DVR to use or have full access to certain features of the TiVo service. You received certain software in your TiVo DVR at the time of purchase and other software programs may be delivered to your TiVo DVR by TiVo from time to time, which you are obligated to accept. You may use such software solely in executable code form and solely in conjunction your TiVo DVR. Your use of such software is subject to the terms of this Agreement. TiVo retains title to and ownership of all the software for the TiVo DVR and certain intellectual property rights in the TiVo DVR. TiVo also retains ownership of all TiVo copyrights and trademarks.

GNU General Public License

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

PREAMBLE

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must

make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification.

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,

Page 96

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an

appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

Page 97

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except

as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royaltyfree redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

Page 98

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the FreeSoftware Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for

permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. Because the program is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty for the program, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or other parties provide the program “as is” without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the program is with you. Should the program prove defective, you assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

12. In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing will any copyright holder, or any other party who may modify and/or redistribute the program as permitted above, be liable to you for damages, including any general, special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the program (including but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses sustained by you or third parties or a failure of the program to operate with any other programs), even if such holder or other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

End of terms and conditions.

HOW TO APPLY THESE TERMS TO YOUR NEW PROGRAMS

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

Page 99

Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.

This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands

you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989

Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.
