A:Answer I have never open the manual before because the remote has almost all the functions label on it. Know you have to get a cable card from you cable provider for it to work unless if you are using it for over the air channels which might not require cable card. Once you connect it, the setup is explanatory Here are some of the buttons functions:
1. Tivo button/left arrow takes you to Tivo Central that contains: Recorded shows, Manage recordings & One pass, music & photos, Apps & games, settings & messages, etc
2. Live TV button: takes you to live tv.
Everything is really self explained or does whatever it says on the remote. The settings & messages tab contain the setup and I believe the most important things aside from the shows. If you have specific questions, I can try to answer them.
