How to get the most out of TV
Your TiVo® DVR delivers the programs you want to watch, when you want to watch them. Learn how to catch all your favorites—and find some new ones—with the step-by-step instructions below.
- Use the Season Pass feature to keep track of your favorite TV series. Set one up, and the TiVo service will make sure to record the program every week-even if the day or time changes.
- Looking for something to record? With the TiVo DVR's powerful and easy-to-use search capabilities, you'll have a well-stocked Now Playing List (your list of recorded programs) in no time.
- Know what you like, but not sure if or when it's on? Create a WishList search to search program listings by actor, keyword, or category. If you like, your TiVo DVR can even automatically record any program matching your search criteria.
- 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 finding interesting programming for you.
- TiVo KidZone gives you total control over what your kids see on TV. Personalize KidZone with only those shows and channels you pre-approve, and prevent kids from setting up new recordings or changing any settings on the DVR.
- TiVo Guru Guides are lists of television programs hand-selected by experts like the American Film Institute (AFI), Sports Illustrated, and CNET to help you discover and automatically record the best TV programming. Guru Guides are updated regularly, as new shows air, so you're always sure to be watching the freshest, hottest, most interesting programs on TV.
