TiVo is 3D ready!

What do I need to experience 3D TV on my TiVoŽ media device media device?
To experience 3D TV content on your TiVoŽ media device you will need to connect your TiVoŽ media device to a 3D TV using a HDMI 1.3 compliant cable. Proper playback of 3D TV will not work using Component or Composite video cables, or non-compliant HDMI cables.

 

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
  • Brisbane
  • Melbourne
  • Newcastle
  • Perth
  • Sydney
  • Wollongong

 

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 do 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:

 

Region Frequency
Adelaide 536.500 MHz
Brisbane 683.500 MHz
Melbourne 578.500 MHz
Newcastle 578.500 MHz
Perth 578.500 MHz
Sydney 578.500 MHz
Wollongong 683.500 MHz

 

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?

As the 3D TV trial broadcast is currently transmitted without any Guide information, you will need to manually configure your TiVoŽ media device to record any programmes.

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.

Please note: 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.
