Tour Five: Now Playing

Your recorder can record many hours of programming (enough to fill a slew of video

tapes!). Fortunately, it also labels and organizes all those saved programs. Unlike using a

VCR, Now Playing gives you instant access to all recorded programs—no need to spend

time searching for an episode on that tape you thought you used.

To go to Now Playing, just press the TiVo button twice. Your new recorder may already

have some entertaining short programs created by TiVo’s partners. A network logo to the

right of the show tells you which partner brings you the program.

An icon like this one to the left of the program’s title tells you the recording’s

current status (see the inside back cover for a glossary of these icons).

Programs you request will appear in Now Playing the moment recording begins. The most

recently recorded shows appear at the top of the list. You can watch any title in Now

Playing—even one that is still being recorded—by highlighting it, then pressing the

PLAY button.

Try it. Highlight a program in Now Playing and press PLAY. OK, now for the cool part:

Watch the program for at least 5 minutes, then press the LEFT arrow to go back to Now

Playing. Select the program again—the Program Information screen will now say

“Resume Playing,” instead of “Play.” Select “Resume Playing,” and return to the program

from the point you left it!
