[. . . ] By using the TiVo service, you agree to the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policy and affirm that you understand the options TiVo provides to you with regard to your User Information. TiVo will notify you of any substantial and material changes to the Privacy Policy and the latest Privacy Policy can always be accessed through our web site at www. tivo. com/privacy. THE TIVO SERVICE AND THE PRIVACY POLICY 1 Terms of Service. The TiVo logo on your TiVo® Digital Video Recorder (your "TiVo DVR") means that it can receive the TiVo service offered and provided by TiVo for personal, non-commercial use on a subscription basis. Your activation and continued use of the TiVo service is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. TiVo may at its discretion change the terms of this Agreement. Such changes shall be effective upon notification by TiVo. We encourage you to check www. tivo. com/privacy or call us for a copy of the current TiVo service agreement. If you are dissatisfied with any changes to this Agreement, you may cancel your use of the TiVo service as provided in Section 14 ("Termination of Service"). 3 The TiVo Service. The TiVo service consists of program guide information and the following features: (a) Season PassTM automatically finds and records every episode of a series all season long; (b) WishListTM - finds and records programs that feature your favorite actor, director, team or even topic; (c) Smart Recording - 77 Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service automatically detects program line-up changes for your cable/satellite provider and adjusts recording times so you don't have to worry about the details; (d) TiVo Suggestions - TiVo can be programmed to suggest and auto-record programs that may match your interests; and (e) Parental Controls - lock channels or set ratings limits based on content. Each of these features is part of the "TiVo service. " The "TiVo service" means these features and any additional features and functionality of the TiVo DVR that TiVo may, at its discretion and from time to time, offer. 3. 3 Network-Enabled TiVo Service Features (includes Home Media and TiVoToGoTM features). You must have a network-enabled TiVo DVR to use any network-enabled TiVo service features. A networkenabled TiVo DVR has an established network connection through the TiVo DVR's built-in USB port (including a wired (Ethernet) or wireless USB network adapter); is running a TiVo software version that supports home networking; and is subscribed to the TiVo service. Some network-enabled TiVo service features require installation of the thencurrent TiVo Desktop application (www. tivo. com/desktop) on a home computer that is connected to the same home network as your TiVo DVR. Some TiVo service features require a broadband connection to the Internet through the home network. The Multi-Room Viewing feature requires two network-enabled TiVo DVRs that are enabled for Multi-Room Viewing. The TiVoToGo feature requires a TiVo DVR that is running a TiVo software version which supports that feature. Not all TiVo DVRs are able to use network-enabled features. Moreover, even among TiVo's Series2 DVRs, the Multi-Room Viewing feature may not permit particular TiVo DVRs to transfer content among one another due to compatibility issues among manufacturers or copy protection mechanisms used by copyright owners, studios or broadcasters. In addition, the TiVoToGo feature may not permit particular TiVo DVRs to transfer content to home computers for the same reasons. Please visit our TiVo Home Media Features FAQs at www. tivo. com/mediafaq for details. The Multi-Room Viewing and TiVoToGo features are also turned on by default when you subscribe to the TiVo service. You may turn these features off using Manage My Account at www. tivo. com/manage. 3. 1 Online Scheduling Feature.
