Using TiVo Mini

Video Window only with Program Guide on TiVo Mini

The Video Window (Picture-In-Picture, or PIP) is available only on TiVo Mini when viewing the
Program Guide.
It is not available during any other function.
This scenario was designed intentionally, so that a tuner would not be unnecessarily allocated.

Using TiVo Thumb Ratings with TiVo Mini

You can use the Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down to rate shows on TiVo Mini. However, these ratings
are then applied to the Host DVR, not specifically to TiVo Mini.

Using Parental Controls with TiVo Mini

TiVo Mini has its own Parental Controls, which can be set differently for the Mini from the Host
DVR.
However, the setup procedure is exactly the same as any TiVo DVR.
As a reminder, to set up Parental Controls:
1. From TiVo Central, select Settings & Messages > Parental Controls.
2. Enter a four-digit password.
3. For confirmation, enter the password again.
You can also establish the Rating Limits for movies originally released in theaters.
However, TiVo Mini inherits the Channel Locks set on the Host DVR, so they cannot be set
specifically on TiVo Mini.
