Using Online Scheduling to Find Programs (TiVo Central Online)
You can schedule recordings on your Recorder at home from any computer with Internet
access and a standard web browser. Use TiVo Central Online at www.tivo.com/tco to
search for shows by time, title, keyword, or actor/director. You can record a single episode
or get a Season Pass
TM
, with all the recording options you have on your Recorder at home.
You can even set the program not to record if it conflicts with a scheduled recording that is
already on your Recorder.
Using Online Scheduling doesn’t require any changes to your current setup. However, if
your Recorder is connected to a home network (see Chapter 7) that includes a broadband
Internet connection, it will check the TiVo service for your recording requests much more
often. With a broadband Internet connection, you can schedule a recording within an hour
of its air time from any place that you have access to the Internet!
To Use Online Scheduling:
1. Go to www.tivo.com/tco and sign in.
2. On the Welcome page of TiVo Central Online, select the name of the Recorder for
which you want to schedule recordings.
3. Use the simple or advanced search of your TV listings, or browse by channel.
4. From the list of search results, click the name of a program and choose:
Record this episode — to record the program and specify the priority and quality.
Get a Season Pass — to record this program every time it airs on this channel.
You can choose to receive a confirmation e-mail sent to the e-mail address you provide.
Each time your Recorder connects to
the TiVo service, it checks TiVo
Central Online and schedules any recording
requests you’ve made.
