Tour Five: Finding New Programs

TiVo makes it easy for you to find new programs you might want to watch by responding to your interests and collecting the best the networks have to offer.

WishList™ Searches

A WishList search automatically finds programs that match your tastes, passions, and whims on any channel you receive. And it keeps on searching for as long as you keep the WishList. Just enter your favorite actor or director’s name, or any keyword, and your Recorder will find programs for you. Go to TiVo Central, then Pick Programs to Record, then Search Using a WishList. For more information, see page 54.

TiVo Suggestions

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 recorded, or browse programs with the live guide, or in Showcases or TiVolution Magazine, you can rate them

by pressing the THUMBS UPTM and THUMBS DOWNTM buttons ( ). You can give a program up to three Thumbs Up or three Thumbs Down. Also, any time you choose to record a program, it automatically gets one Thumbs Up.

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

Suggested programs based on your ratings appear in TiVo Suggestions. Go to TiVo Central, then Pick Programs to Record, then TiVo Suggestions. (If you don’t see programs yet, come back later—it may take a few hours the first time.) The list of programs is ranked, so shows you are more likely to enjoy are near the top. If you want to record a program, select it and the Program Information screen appears.
