TiVo Suggestions (Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down)

TiVo Suggestions is a personalized list of shows selected to match your preferences. How is this magic possible? Any time you watch programs, live or pre-recorded, or browse programs with the Program Guide, you can rate them. If you like a program, press the

green THUMBS UP™ ™ button on your remote control. If you dislike it, press the red

THUMBS DOWN™ ™ . You can give a program up to three Thumbs, up or down.

Over time, the more shows you rate with your Thumb buttons, the better TiVo Suggestions will be at finding programs you like. The suggestions are listed under TiVo Suggestions in order of how closely they match your preferences.

Try it! Press GUIDE to bring up the DIRECTV ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE™ .

Highlight a few programs and rate them by pressing the THUMBS UP™ ™ or THUMBS

DOWN™ ™ button. Then go to “DIRECTV Central,” then “Pick Programs to Record,” then “TiVo Suggestions.” Suggested programs based on your Thumb ratings appear in TiVo Suggestions. (If you don’t see programs yet, come back later—it may take a few hours the first time.) You can press SELECT on a suggestion, then set up a recording.

As an added bonus, when the recorder has empty space, it may automatically record some of TiVo Suggestions. You will find them at the bottom of the Now Playing List, below programs you requested. TiVo Suggestions never replace shows you explicitly request and they do not prevent those shows from being recorded. Recorded suggestions are always the first programs deleted to make room for recordings you request.
