If you're using the supplied remote, it should be somewhere off of the
main menu in some sort of "about" or "setup" window...  My Tivo is
recording right now, so I can't check it.

As a side note, I have 2 cable boxes in the living room - one
serial-connected to the Tivo, and one serial-connected to the MythTV. 
So any use of the cable box remote (to do things like, say... change
channels) will crap up both boxes!  Thus, serial is a necessity...
