How to find great new shows with TiVo® Suggestions
TiVo Suggestions uses your Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down ratings to find and record shows you might like. The more shows you rate over time, the better TiVo suggestions will get at recommending interesting TV and movies for you.
Rating shows
You can rate any program—whether it’s live, recorded, or listed in the program guide—by pressing the THUMBS UP 
or THUMBS DOWN 
button on your remote. You can give a program up to three Thumbs Up (great!) or three Thumbs Down (terrible!).
The more shows you rate over time, the better TiVo Suggestions will get at finding interesting programming for you.
Auto-recording TiVo Suggestions
When your DVR has available space, it automatically records TiVo Suggestions. But you don’t ever need to worry about recorded Suggestions taking up space—here’s why:
- TiVo Suggestions never replace shows you request, or prevent your requested shows from being recorded.
- TiVo Suggestions are always the first programs deleted to make room for recordings you request.
Note: To turn off automatic recording of TiVo Suggestions, go to ‘TiVo Central’ > ‘Messages & Settings’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘Recording’ > ‘TiVo Suggestions.’
When automatic recording is on (the default), TiVo Suggestions may be recorded if there’s available space.
TiVo Suggestions list
You can also review a list of TiVo Suggestions. Here’s how:
- Show the steps
Go to ‘TiVo Central’ > ‘Find Programs & Downloads’ > ‘TiVo Suggestions.’ The list of programs is ranked, so shows you’re more likely to enjoy are near the top.
To record a program, highlight it and press either SELECT or RECORD on your TiVo remote.
Use THUMBS UP and THUMBS DOWN to rate programs in the list and improve future Suggestions.
