Tour Three: Find and Record Your Favorite
Programs
You can always record the program you’re watching by pressing the RECORD button on
your remote control. The TiVo service also provides many ways to quickly search large
numbers of 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 Pass ™ to the series. A Season
Pass records every episode of the series that airs on the selected channel.
Search by Title
In this tour, you’ll find a program (The Simpsons) by searching for its title. Press the TiVo
button to see TiVo Central. Press the DOWN arrow to highlight Pick Programs to Record
and press SELECT. The Pick Programs to Record screen appears.
As you can see, TiVo gives you many ways to find programs. Since you know the
program’s title, highlight “Search by Title” and press SELECT. The next screen is a
categories screen. It lets you limit your search to any of several categories—but for now,
choose “All Programs,” then press SELECT.
The next screen has a grid of letters. Notice the white box around the letter A. Use the
RIGHT, LEFT, UP, and DOWN arrows to move the box among the letters. Now move it
to S, then press SELECT.
A list of programs that begin with “S” appears on the right side of the screen. Move the
white box to the letter I and press SELECT again. The list changes. The TiVo service has
searched through all available programs (usually, those airing in the next two weeks) to
find those that begin with SI, then listed those programs.
If you just finished Guided Setup
and you go to Pick Programs to
Record, you will see a message at the
bottom of the screen stating that the
recorder is still indexing data. The
recorder should be done indexing within 4
to 8 hours of finishing Guided Setup.
