Watching Programs and Playing Discs
Grouping Programs. The Groups option lets you group like programs together to “tidy
up” the screen. When you turn on Groups, a folder appears in Now Playing for:
• Each television series with more than one recorded episode;
• Each auto-recording WishList
TM
search with a recorded program;
• TiVo Suggestions (if you have auto-recording of TiVo Suggestions turned on).
A program may fit in any or all of these categories, so it may appear in more than one
group, even though only one copy of the program is actually recorded. For example, say
you have an auto-recording WishList search for an actor who also appears in a series, and
you have a Season Pass
TM
for that series. Each episode of the series that records will
appear in two folders—one for the WishList and one for the Season Pass. If you delete the
program from one folder, it also disappears from the other.
A number in parentheses to the right of each folder shows how many programs it contains.
If you delete a program from one folder, it will disappear from all folders.
Keep Until...
By default, programs you record are saved until space is needed for new recordings you
request (this usually means for about two days). The oldest ones may be deleted to make
room for new recordings you’ve scheduled. However, you always have the option to keep
a program for as long as you want.
To change how long a program will be saved, highlight it and press SELECT. The
Program Information screen appears. Select “Keep Until....” On the next screen you can
choose “Keep until I delete” or use the arrow buttons to highlight and change the date
displayed. When you are done, press SELECT.
A note at the bottom of Now Playing tells
you which sorting option you are using
and whether groups are on.
When you set up recordings, you
can also specify how long you want
to keep them by setting the “Keep
Until...” Recording Option. See page 72.
