Tour Two: Recording Programs

You can always record the program you’re watching by pressing RECORD on your TiVo® remote control. Beyond that, the TiVo® service provides many ways to quickly search through TV programs, find your favorites, and schedule recordings in advance.

What’s more, if a program is part of a series, you can get a Season PassTM recording of the series. A Season Pass recording automatically records every episode of the series that airs on the selected channel—even if the time slot changes!

Search by Title

Know the title of a program you want to record? Finding it is easy. Grab your TiVo remote!

1.Press the TiVo button to see the TiVo Central® screen. Press DOWN to highlight Find Programs, and press SELECT. The Find Programs screen appears.

2.Highlight Search by Title and press SELECT. A list of categories which you could use to limit your search appears, but for now select All Programs.

The next screen has a grid of letters. Use the RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN arrows to move the white selection box among the letters.

3.Let’s find “The Simpsons.” Move to the letter S and press SELECT. (The Search By Title list alphabetizes without “A” or “The.”) A list of programs that begin with “S” appears on the right side of the screen.

4.Move to the letter I and press SELECT again. The TiVo service searches through all available programs (usually, those airing within the next two weeks) to find those that begin with SI, and lists those programs.

5.Keep entering letters until you see “Simpsons, The” in the list. You may see multiple listings

if the program airs on more than one channel. 4
