An exception to the 28-day rule may

®occur if the program wasn’t watched but was automatically deleted from Now Playing to make room for another recording you requested—or if the program information describes it incorrectly.

Season Pass, Recording Options, To Do List

Your HUMAX DVD Recorder makes finding and recording TV programs easy—so easy that you may find more programs you enjoy than you ever expected! Your Recorder can help with this too, by giving you simple ways to manage your recordings.

Season Pass and Other Repeating Recordings

There are three types of recordings that repeat automatically:

•Season PassTM recordings. Records every episode of a series that airs on a certain channel—even if the day or time changes! It’s automatic and easy to set up. Just select a program (in the TiVo Live Guide, or search results) and choose “Get a Season Pass.”

•Manual Repeating Recording. Records on a specific channel at a specific time, just as you would with a VCR. See page 52 for more information.

•Auto-recording WishListTM search. Records all programs found by a WishList search. See page 58.

These three types of repeating recordings also have the following in common:

•No duplicates within 28 days. If you watch or delete a particular episode or showing, it will not be recorded automatically again for 28 days. This prevents Now Playing from filling up with shows you probably don’t want. If you want to record duplicates, go to Recording Options, Show Type, and select “All (with duplicates).” You can also schedule a single duplicate recording for a particular program.

•Parental Controls. If Parental Controls are on when you schedule a repeating recording, the Recorder checks its current program information to see if any upcoming program violates a Parental Control. If it does, the Recorder requires the password to continue. See page 89 for more information.
