The Basics in 5 Short Tours
Tour Five: Finding New Programs
So far, you have seen ways to find, record, and copy programs you already know you like.
With Showcases, the TiVo service helps you find the best programs you may not have
heard of and often includes additional, exclusive content as well.
Showcases
Showcases is an interactive content area which often includes opportunities to schedule
recordings of featured programs or allows you to watch previews of upcoming movies or
TV shows. The programs in Showcases are grouped in theme packages, giving you “one-
stop shopping” convenience when browsing for programs to record. Packages may
include exclusive content, the inside scoop on hit movies, exciting miniseries, hot
specials, popular series, and shows featuring the biggest stars of the screen and stage.
Showcases is updated during your Recorder’s regular connection to the TiVo service.
TiVolution Magazine
TiVolution Magazine is one part of Showcases where you’ll always find something fun
and different. It’s a guide to the best upcoming shows on television. You’ll find premieres,
specials, and offbeat gems, making it easy for you to schedule recordings. New content is
delivered fresh to your Recorder during regular connections to the TiVo service.
Use the arrow buttons and the SELECT button to explore the TiVolution Magazine. Once
you get to a list of programs, select a title to see the Program Information screen. If you
receive the channel the program airs on, you can set up a recording—it’s that easy!
If you have just finished Guided
Setup and you go to Pick Programs
to Record, you will see a message at the
bottom of the screen stating that the
Recorder is still indexing data. The
Recorder should be done indexing within
4 to 8 hours of finishing Guided Setup.
