Questions About Now Playing

Can I recover a recorded program that was deleted?

•No. There is no way to bring back a program that has been deleted from Now Playing. You can choose to save programs longer, though. See page 29 for details.

I haven’t scheduled enough programs to fill my Recorder, but when I try to schedule more programs, the Recorder says there isn’t room.

•The TiVo service includes smart scheduling features that track not only how much space you currently have on your Recorder, but also how much space will be needed in the future to record all of the programs you have scheduled. If your Recorder will be full at some point in the future, the TiVo service informs you and suggests options—such as allowing some programs to be deleted early— that will allow you to schedule additional recordings. With the TiVo service, you always have the final say over what gets recorded and how long it is kept.

•The amount of recording space the Recorder needs varies from channel to channel and from program to program. In general, the more action you see on your screen, such as in fast-moving sports or action movies, the more recording space is required. Weaker video signals may also require more space. The amount of space required for each program you record affects the total hours of recording capacity of your Recorder.

How can I fit more programs in Now Playing?

•To make space, delete some programs in Now Playing. You delete a program by highlighting its title, then pressing CLEAR.

•Lowering the default recording quality will allow you to fit more programs in Now Playing. (See page 63 for details.)

•[TiVo Plus only] Set up Season Pass recordings with the Recording Option “First-run only.” You’ll only collect new episodes. You’ll also be less likely to run out of space in Now Playing and less likely to encounter conflicts.
