Tour Two: Find and Record Programs

You can always record the program you’re watching by pressing the RECORD ( ) button on the TiVo remote. The TiVo service also provides many ways to quickly search large numbers of TV programs, find your favorites, and schedule recordings in advance.

Using the Program Guide

While watching live TV, press GUIDE to display your Recorder’s program guide. Press the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT arrows to move the highlight bar over a program title. (Notice that the program description at the top changes.) Then press SELECT on the highlighted channel.

If the program is on now, the channel changes and the program guide disappears. If the program is upcoming, selecting it brings up a transparent screen with recording options. Choose an option or press LEFT arrow to go back to the guide. See page 47 for more information about using the program guide to find and record programs.

Search by Title

If you know the name of the program you want to record, you can find it easily using Search by Title. Press the TiVo button to see TiVo Central. Press the DOWN arrow to highlight Pick Programs to Record and press SELECT.

As you can see, the Pick Programs to Record screen gives you many ways to find programs. Let’s look for The Simpsons. Highlight “Search by Title” and press SELECT. The next screen is a categories screen. It lets you limit your search to any of several categories—but for now, choose “All Programs,” then press SELECT.

The next screen has a grid of letters. Notice the white box around the letter A. Use the RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN arrows to move the box among the letters. Now move it to S, then press SELECT.
