If you prefer, you can choose to have a press of the ADVANCE button move you to the end
of a recorded show, or catch up with live TV. Pressing it again takes you to the beginning of
the recorded show, or to the beginning of the saved portion of live TV.
No matter which setting you choose, if you press ADVANCE while fast-forwarding or
rewinding, you’ll move to the next tick mark on the status bar. See Moving around with the
status bar for more information.
RF Remote Setup
The Roamio remote control is an RF remote. This means that the remote can control your
TiVo box even if the box is not in direct line of sight with the remote (for instance, if it is
behind a cabinet door).
Your remote control should be ready to use in RF mode after you complete Guided Setup.
However, if you have trouble using the remote in RF mode, or if you purchase additional
remotes, you may need to “pair” the remote to your DVR before using it.
Pairing your remote
To use the remote in RF mode, you must first pair the remote with your TiVo box:
1. Hold down the BACK button and the TiVo button at the same time.
2. Wait until the amber activity light on the remote flashes five times.
Your remote is paired! Once a remote is paired with a TiVo Roamio Pro, it will only work in
RF mode with that DVR. It will continue to work with other DVRs in IR mode (in which the
DVR must be in line-of-sight to communicate with the remote).
Note: Not sure if your remote is paired? When a remote is paired with a TiVo box, the
remote’s activity light flashes amber when you press a remote button. When a remote is not
paired, the activity light flashes red.
