TiVo Home Screen
The TiVo Home screen is your hub for streaming apps, personalised recommendations, and quick access to all your Aero’s features. Press the TiVo button on your remote to open it at any time.
Navigating the Home Screen
The Home screen is organised into rows of content. Use your remote to browse:
- Up/Down: Move between rows
- Left/Right: Scroll through items within a row
You’ll find rows for Live TV channels, personalised recommendations based on your viewing, and My Apps where your favourite streaming apps live.
Tip: You can also jump straight to a live channel by entering its number on the remote, even from the Home screen. Your Aero will tune to that channel after a brief moment.
The Sidebar Menu
Press left from the Home screen to open the sidebar menu. Here you’ll find:
- Search: Find content across your apps and live TV
- Watchlist: View programmes you’ve saved to watch later
- All Apps: Browse and open any app installed on your Aero
- Settings: Adjust your Aero’s settings, including display, sound, and accessibility
My Apps
The My Apps row gives you quick access to your most-used streaming apps. You can customise this row to put your favourites front and centre.
To add or rearrange apps, head to All Apps in the sidebar, find the app you want, and follow the on-screen options to add it to My Apps.
Personalising Your Experience
The Home screen learns from your viewing habits and improves its recommendations over time. You can help it get to know your tastes:
Rate content: When you see something you like (or don’t), use the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down buttons on your remote. This helps TiVo understand what to recommend.
Use your Watchlist: When you spot something you’d like to watch later, add it to your Watchlist. You can access your saved items anytime from the sidebar menu. Note that this Watchlist is separate from Freely’s My List – items you save in one won’t appear in the other. They cover different content: the Watchlist is for content found on the TiVo Home screen, and My List is for programmes in the Freely guide.
The more you interact with the Home screen, the better it becomes at surfacing content you’ll enjoy.
TiVo+ Live Carousel
From software 19.1021.153 (May 2026), the Home screen includes a TiVo+ live content carousel for quick access to currently airing TiVo+ channels. You’ll see it as a row on the Home screen alongside your apps and recommendations. See TiVo+ Channels for more about what TiVo+ includes.
Navigation Sounds
If you’d like a subtle audio cue when you move around the menus, you can enable navigation sounds:
Settings → System Sounds
Options are Off, Low, Medium, and High. The default is Low.
