How do I access the new 3D TV trial broadcast channel?
The 3D TV trial channel will be displayed as Channel 40, and is being broadcast in the following regions:

• Adelaide metro
• Brisbane metro
• Melbourne metro
• Inner Newcastle
• Perth metro
• Sydney metro

If you are in one of these regions, your TiVoŽ media device should automatically detect the channel and add it to your Channel List the On-Screen Guide.

If your TiVoŽ media device doesn’t automatically add the channel, you will need to perform a channel scan. To perform a channel scan: Go to TiVoŽ Central > Messages & Settings > Settings > Channels > Channel Scan > Scan for Channels. When you have completed the scan, select 'Add Channels'.

If your TiVoŽ media device still isn't able to see the 3D TV trial channel, please try performing a channel rescan. To perform a channel rescan: Go to TiVoŽ Central > Messages & Settings > Settings > Channels > Channel Scan> 'Delete Channels and Rescan'. When you have completed the scan, select 'Add All Channels'.

Please note: If you perform a rescan you will need to reset any favourite channels you had set up.

If your TiVoŽ media device still isn't able to see the 3D TV trial channel, please try manually adding the channel for your region. To manually add a channel: Go to TiVoŽ Central > Messages & Settings > Settings > Channels > Add a Channel. A Warning screen will appear indicating that any recordings will be stopped and no scheduled recordings will proceed while you access this setting. If you have no recordings in progress, select "OK, access this setting". From the "Add a Channel" screen select the frequency for your region from the following list:

The Channels Found screen will appear listing the channels in your area that use that frequency, and will give you the option to add those channels to your channel list. If there are no channels on that frequency in your area, you will see the message "No Channels Found." This means that your antenna is unable to pick up the 3D TV trial frequency for your region.

How can I record the 3D TV broadcast for viewing at a later time?

Guide information will be made available for the main broadcast of the AFL Grand Final only. To ensure that your TiVoŽ media device has the latest Guide information, force a connection to the TiVoŽ Service.

To connect to the TiVoŽ Service: Go to TiVoŽ Central > Messages & Settings > Settings > Network > Connect to the TiVo Service Now.

After downloading the most recent Guide information you should see programme information in your Guide for the AFL Grand Final.

If your TiVoŽ media device doesn't download the updated Guide information in time, you will need to manually configure your TiVoŽ media device to record programmes on the trial channel.

To manually record a programme: Go to TivoŽ Central > Find Programs > Record by Time or Channel > Set up Manual Recording.

On the Set Up Manual Recording screen, choose how often you want the manual recording to run, the day, channel, start time and end time, then press SELECT to enter the recording options, and then SELECT again on the Confirm Selections screen to confirm the manual recording details, and SELECT again after receiving confirmation that the recording has been added to your TiVoŽ media device’s To Do List.

Handy Tip: If a show runs short, you can stop a manual recording by pressing INFO to bring up the programme info for the current show and then SELECT to stop the current recording.

What time will the telecast begin on 3D?

The telecast will be live from the commencement of the pre-match entertainment at approximately 1:30pm.

Will it be replayed on any other channels?

The AFL Grand Final will be replayed from time to time on Digital Channel 40 throughout the trial period of 18 September to 8 October 2010.
