TiVo SDOC-00091-002 manual Search by Title, Record by Time or Channel

2 Finding Programs

If you only know one word in the title,

®and it isn’t the first word, try a Title Wishlist search to find the program. See page 20.

Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / )

®and periods ( . ) with spaces. For example, use 20 20 to search for the title “20/20.” Any other marks, such as apostrophes ( ’ ), asterisks ( * ) and ampersands ( & ) are ignored.

For example, use 6 OCLOCK NEWS to search for the title “6 O’Clock News.”

Search by Title

If you know the name of the program you’re looking for, or even the first part of the name, press the TiVo button to go to the TiVo Central® screen, select Find Programs then Search By Title, and follow these steps:

1.Choose whether to narrow the search to a particular category and subcategory, or select All Programs.

2.Use the grid to spell out the title. Use the arrow buttons to move around, then press SELECT on each letter you want. (Skip “a,” “an,” or “the.”) As you select letters, an alphabetical list of programs appears on the right. Keep selecting letters until you see your program.

Other buttons on the TiVo remote have special functions on the grid. The CLEAR button erases everything; BACK erases one letter at a time; FORWARD inserts a space.

3.When you see your program, press RIGHT arrow to move to the list. Then use the UP/DOWN arrows or CHAN UP/DOWN to highlight your program, and press SELECT. The Program Information screen shows your available options.

Record by Time or Channel

If you don’t remember the exact name of a program, but you know what time or channel it’s on, use Record by Time or Channel. You’ll have three options:

Browse by Time. Browse programs on a specified day and time. You can filter the list to see only programs in a particular category. For example, you can browse all movies airing on Saturday night. To browse by time:

1.Use the arrow buttons to highlight a category (for example, Movies), then press SELECT.

2.Press the UP/DOWN arrows to select the date you want to see, then press RIGHT arrow to move to the time column, and press the UP/DOWN arrows to select a time.
