Questions About Recording Programs
8
“Stop recording.” Use RIGHT arrow to increase the length of the recording by anywhere from one minute to 3 hours. Alternatively,
you could choose to press the RECORD button after the regularly scheduled part of the program has finished.
Is there a way to record a program that will not be aired for weeks or months?
• Create an auto-recording WishList for programs that are not yet listed in the guide. See page 54 for details on WishList searches.
• If you know the date, time, and channel on which the program will air, you can create a manual recording to record it. You can create
manual recordings by going to TiVo Central, then selecting Pick Programs to Record, then Record by Time or Channel, then
Manually Record Time/Channel. (See page 50 for details.)
How do I set the clock so that my shows are recorded on time?
• If you are missing the beginning or end of a show, it usually means that the broadcaster is not starting or stopping the show on time.
You can use the Overtime Scheduler
®
, described on page 44, to compensate for this.
• The TiVo service sets your Recorder’s clock during every service connection. If you set your time zone and Daylight Savings Time
correctly in Guided Setup, you never have to worry! If you move to a new time zone, change your Recorder’s time settings by
repeating Guided Setup. To connect to the TiVo service at any time, go to TiVo Central, then select Messages & Setup, then
Settings, then Phone & Network Setup, then “Connect to the TiVo service now.”
How do I record a Pay Per View event?
• From live TV, catch up to the present broadcast by pressing the ADVANCE button. Then, order the program from your cable or
satellite provider as you normally would—by using your satellite or cable box remote, or by calling your cable/satellite provider. (If
the program violates a Parental Control limit—or a feature like Parental Controls on your cable or satellite box—make sure to
disable both TiVo Parental Controls and your satellite or cable box’s Parental Controls.) To record the program, search for it in
Browse by Time. If there are no listings for Pay Per View events, record the showing with the Manually Record Time/Channel
option under TiVo Central, then Pick Programs to Record, then Record Time/Channel.
