TiVo Blue Ridge Dream
About TiVo

Welcome to the Blue Ridge Dream Experience!
The Blue Ridge Dream experience instantly gives you total control of the TV programming you love, and much more! Your digital video recorder (DVR) also connects to the Internet and gives you access to an entire universe of on-demand movies, TV shows, and web videos (and you can stream shows from your DVR to every room in your home!).
Also, with six tuners and 150 hours of HD recording capacity (enough for 300 episodes of “Modern Family”), you can say goodbye to recording conflicts!
Press the TiVo button on your TiVo remote control to get to the TiVo Central® screen, the starting point for all of TiVo’s amazing features. For more help using your DVR, visit tivo.com/howto.
OnePass
Your ticket to limitless entertainment.
OnePass gathers every episode of a series available anywhere and adds them all right to your My Shows list. Now you can watch a series from beginning to end, or start on any episode or season you want. If it’s not available on TV or Blue Ridge On Demand, OnePass fills in the gaps with episodes from providers like Netflix.
To create a OnePass, find a show you want to watch, then choose “Create a OnePass.”
My Shows
Find. Watch. Repeat.
All of your recordings and streaming videos appear in the My Shows list. To get to the My Shows list from any menu screen or from live TV, just press the TiVo button twice. (Just press it once if you’re already on the TiVo Central screen.)
The My Shows list includes categories that make it easy to find what you want to watch fast. Want to see all the kids’ shows you’ve recorded? Select Kids. Or lists of TV shows or movies that don’t include kids’ shows? Select TV Series or Movies. Plus, ‘Video Providers’ takes you right to all of your video on-demand options!
Streaming Shows
With your TiVo DVR, you can easily stream shows to your iOS® device using the Blue Ridge Go app. (Streaming means watching a video directly from another device; there’s no need to wait for the video to transfer or download before watching it.)
You can also extend your Blue Ridge Dream experience into other rooms in your home with the TiVo Mini. The TiVo Mini lets you watch live TV and stream recorded shows from your TiVo DVR.
The Discovery Bar and TiVo Suggestions
May we make a suggestion?
TiVo is the only entertainment experience that understands what you like because only a DVR with the Blue Ridge Dream experience keeps track of your programming likes and dislikes and make suggestions accordingly through the Discovery Bar and TiVo Suggestions.
TiVo Suggestions
You can rate any show — whether it’s life, recorded, or listed in the program guide — by pressing the THUMBS UP 
or THUMBS DOWN
button on your remote. You can give a show up to three Thumbs Up (great!) or three Thumbs Down (terrible!).
TiVo Suggestions uses these ratings to create a list of shows you might like. The more shows you rate over time, the better TiVo Suggestions will get at finding interesting shows for you.
The Discovery Bar
The Discovery Bar appears at the top of most TiVo screens. What you’ll see in the Discovery Bar depends on you! Often, the Discovery Bar displays ideas for shows you might like based on what shows you record and mark as your favorites. The Discovery Bar also displays lots of other great viewing options: popular shows or sports events that are playing on live TV, items from your My Shows list, TiVo Suggestions, new video-on-demand shows, and more! You can customize what appears in the Discovery Bar by going to “Settings & Messages,” then “Displays,” then “Customize Discovery Bar.”
The TiVo Remote Control
To program your TiVo remote, press the TiVo button to go to the TiVo Central screen. Then select Settings & Messages, then Settings, then Remote, CableCARD, & Devices, then Remote Control. Follow the easy on-screen instructions.
Bring all your entertainment together.
Get all your shows, movies, and more from one simple and easy-to-navigate menu. Just click the TiVo button on your remote and a world of entertainment is at your fingertips.
Seek and you shall find!
Only the Blue Ridge Dream experience offers a fully integrated search. No other device instantly scans across all TV programming, available on-demand libraries, and the web to find exactly what you want. It’s like an entertainment search engine presenting you with a list of great options, so there’s almost nothing you can’t start watching in seconds!
Search by show title, episode title, show description, or person name (actor, director, etc.). The TiVo service searches upcoming TV shows and movies and video-on-demand offerings all at the same time. You can even search for a particular channel by its network name or call sign (e.g., ABC or ESPN).
Take a shortcut to great shows.
So many channels, and so little time! TiVo’s “What to Watch Now” immediately presents you with the programming you most enjoy without surfing channels or browsing a guide.
“What to Watch Now” helps you sort through your viewing options by showing you what’s available right now in an easy-to-use format. Choose from popular TV shows currently airing on live TV, live sports events and movies, TiVo Suggestions, and more! Just select “What to Watch Now” from the TiVo Central screen to get started!
TiVo is all about pleasant discoveries.
Finding the things you love is a snap with a WishList® search. Have a subject, title, actor, or director you’re curious about? Just set up a WishList search and your TiVo box will search all your programming 24/7/365 and record it for you.
