Do I have to activate my remote?

Your voice remote should pair automatically with your TiVo box, but if it doesn’t please follow the instructions as outlined above.

What kind of voice commands do I need to say into the remote?

You can do a lot with the TiVo voice control: Tune to a channel: “Watch CBS” Browse for something specific. Start with “Show me Tom Hanks movies.” Then narrow your search: “From the 80’s. On Netflix” You can even ask for your favorite sports team: “When are the Seahawks playing?” Jump ahead or rewind while watching a recording: “Fast forward five minutes”

Are there limitations to what the Voice Remote can do?

Yes. The voice control feature only works within the TiVo menus. It will not work within apps, such as On Demand, Netflix, Hulu, etc. However, if you use it to Search for titles/movies/actors/genre in the TiVo menu, once it finds the content you are looking for, it will show you all the Viewing Options, and should be 1-click to launch on TV, Create a OnePass, or play for On Demand, Netflix, Hulu, etc.

TiVo Home is just a new name for TiVo Central. Pressing the main TiVo button twice, will take you to My Shows.

Can I still use my current TiVo remotes with the new experience?

Yes, you can continue to use your current TiVo remotes to perform most standard functions available prior to the upgrade. To enjoy the new voice capabilities, a Voice Remote will need to be activated for each TV.
