Yeah, that and setting up the remote to work with the customers own TV or audio receiver, but as the engineer that installed mine explained, they're literally jumping from job to job trying to keep up with TiVo demand.
The main reason you need an engineer in the first place appears to be that when the TiVo is first connected it's not actually ready to use. I recall him setting up frequencies and a few other things on a dark blue technical screen with white text. Wish I'd paid a little more attention so I could do it myself when the household wants a couple more TiVos, assuming it doesn't require that palm pilot thing the engineers carry... looked like he was using the TiVo remote for most of it.
As for some TV manufacturers making it difficult to see calibration settings, well, shame on them. It should be easy to get to 1:1 pixel mode without going through menus... on my Samsung it's merely a case of pressing the aspect ratio button a few times until
