I cannot use features in Pick Programs to Record. The recorder says it is
organizing program information.
• Your recorder may not have all its program information yet. The first time you go
through Guided Setup, the recorder downloads program information from the TiVo
service. The recorder then indexes this information in the background over the next 4-
8 hours. As the program information gets indexed, more of it becomes available. After
8 hours, full information (for up to 2 weeks from the time of the last successful daily
call) is available for you to use. Wait a few hours, then try to find your program again.
• If the recorder loses power while it is indexing program information, the indexing
process will stop until the recorder makes a successful daily call to the TiVo service,
and then will start again. If your recorder lost power while it was indexing program
information, you can get it to start indexing again by plugging it in and then starting a
call to the TiVo service. To start a call to the TiVo service, go to TiVo Central, then
select Messages & Setup, then Recorder & Phone Setup, then Phone Connection, then
Make Daily Call Now.
What happens if a sports event I have scheduled to record goes into
overtime?
• The TiVo service cannot predict whether a sporting event might go into overtime, but
we provide a feature that lets you add from one extra minute to three hours at the end
of a recording just in case. We call the feature the Overtime Scheduler. The Overtime
Scheduler has two options: “Start Recording” and “Stop Recording.” Both are
available on the Recording Options screen. You can even use the Overtime Scheduler
to change the scheduled end of a recording while the program is being recorded. You
can use the Overtime Scheduler with any kind of program, not just sports. For more
information on Recording Options, see page 35.
