Finding Programs to Record
The TiVo service makes it easy to find programs you know you like, and to find new programs
you might not even know about. You can search for programs by title, by channel, by time, or
search for keywords, actors, or directors.
Recording the Program You’re Watching
You can always record the program you’re watching—just press the RECORD button. On
the screen that appears, select Record This Showing. Or select Season Pass & Other Options for
more choices, or to change the recording quality.
Recording the Saved Portion
Up to 30 minutes of the current channel’s broadcast is always being saved, even when you’re
not recording. When you change channels, the DVR clears the saved portion on the tuner you’re
watching and starts saving again on the new channel. So, if the saved portion is important to
you, either record the program or don’t change the channel.
To record the saved portion in addition to the rest of the program, you must choose Record This
Showing. If you change the Recording Quality (by selecting Season Pass & Other Options), the
saved portion of the program won’t be recorded.
Stopping a recording
You can stop any recording in either of two ways: select the title in Now Playing, then select
Stop Recording; or, press the RECORD button in live TV, then choose Stop the Current
Recording.
Some programs may not be
recorded or may have other
recording restrictions due to copy
protection rights over the content. See
“Copy Protection and the TiVo® Service”
on page 68 for more information.
There’s no option to change the
recording quality of high-definition
programs.
