Signing Into Netflix From TiVo Central

Netflix Picture Quality

When viewing Netflix the higher you have your picture quality set, the more data you will use while viewing/downloading movies. GCI recommends  you change your Quality setting from Auto (the default) to low, and then track your data usage.

If you are not using a lot of data or not streaming a lot of Netflix movies on TiVo then you can increase your picture quality setting. To change your picture quality setting on your TiVo box, perform the following steps using your computer or laptop:

  1. Log into Netflix on your Computer or Laptop
  2. Sign In
  3. In the upper right hand corner, click on Your Account
  4. Under your Netflix Profile, select ‘Playback Settings’ at the bottom
  5. Change from Auto (default) to low (medium or high)

These changes can take up to 8 hours to take effect on your TiVo. Track your data usage using the Usage Viewer.

 

Signing Out

When you need to sign out of your Netflix account on your TiVo box, follow these steps:

  1. From the TiVo Central screen, select ‘Settings’, then ‘Account & System Info’, then ‘Netflix Account Information’.
  2. Choose “Deactivate this device” If you deactivate the device, you will need to sign in again the next time you want to watch Netflix on your TiVo box.
