Pairing Overview

You can pair a 6 Tuner or Mini with the following remotes:

  • TiVo Series 5 Remote Control
     
  • TiVo Experience 4 with Voice Remote Control
 

Instructions

TiVo Home | left arrow to Menu | Settings | Remote, CableCARD, & Devices | Remote Control Setup | Pair your remote to your TiVo box
(see steps)

  • Push any button except Live TV and the remote automatically pairs to the TiVo
     
  • Hold the remote no more than 3 feet from the TiVo
     
  • The amber light on top will steadily blink until pairing is complete
     
  • If the light flashes red with each button press, your remote is only partially paired (in IR mode)
     
    • Hold down the BACK and TIVO buttons together until the activity light turns solid red
       
    • Release the buttons
       
    • The activity light will slowly flash yellow, then flash 5 times quickly
       
  • When completely paired, the activity light flashes yellow with each button press
     
  • If the remote still will not pair, reset the TiVo remote and try again
When pairing, push any button except Live TV

Customers may need to pair their remote with the box by standing within 3 feet of the device and following the pairing steps. When pairing, push any button except Live TV. If the remote does not pair, additional troubleshooting steps are available, but a trouble call should not be scheduled for remote pairing issues. Customer Education visits are available only if the customer requests one, and agents should never offer or schedule a Customer Education work order.
