content are in the limelight anywhere you want it.

List Guide

The List Guide is a new feature that lets you display only the categories of shows you 
want to see in the Guide. How do you select the categories you want to see? When you 
bring up the Grid Guide or Live Guide, press the yellow 

C

 button 

 on your TiVo 

remote, then choose from one of the predetermined categories, or create a custom List 
Guide from the set of categories and subcategories that are provided. After you select your 
preferred show categories, your custom List Guide is displayed.

Search broadcast TV, VOD, and Internet

Search millions of titles and multiple sources—including the Internet—and find exactly 
what your customers want to watch. Search, discover, and explore everything that’s 
available in your content catalog all in one place.

Browse by TV and movie posters

The TiVo Browse feature is the perfect way to make sense of all the great content coming 
into your customers’ home. Not sure what to watch? The visual poster-browse display 
delivers information at a glance. Looking for a good movie? Top Picks has all the most 
popular content from across your content library.
