Recording Programs
• Search by Title. Search by Title finds programs, even if you just know the first part of
the title. You can also browse all the upcoming programs in a particular category and
find shows you didn’t know were on.
• Get a Season Pass. A Season Pass automatically records every episode of a series that
airs on a certain channel—even if the date or time slot changes!
• Season Pass Manager. If two programs are set to air at the same time, the Season
Pass Manager checks the priorities to decide which program to record.
• Recording Options. Recording Options allow you to change the recording quality, set
the maximum number of episodes to be saved, select whether you want to record all
episodes (with repeats) or just first runs, and set the minimum amount of time the
Recorder keeps a recording. You can also adjust recording time with the Overtime
Scheduler, allowing a recording to begin (up to ten minutes early) or continue (for a
few minutes or up to three hours) after it’s scheduled to end. (This is perfect for
recording sporting events.)
• Search Using a WishList. Have a favorite actor? A favorite hobby or interest? How
about a favorite sports team? WishList searches are a powerful feature that finds
upcoming programs based on actor, director, or even keyword, and then automatically
records them, if you want.
• TiVo Suggestions. The TiVo service tries to make sure there is always something
interesting on for you to watch. When you aren’t using it, your Recorder is sifting
through upcoming programs to find things you might like. TiVo Suggestions is a
personalized list of shows selected to match your preferences.
