TiVo Suggestions
TiVo Suggestions is a personalized list of shows selected to match your preferences. How
is this magic possible? Any time you watch programs, live or pre-recorded, or browse
programs with the TiVo Live Guide, you can rate them by pressing the THUMBS UP
™
and THUMBS DOWN ™ buttons ( ). You can give a program up to three Thumbs
Up or three Thumbs Down.
Over time, the more shows you rate, the better TiVo Suggestions will be at finding
programs you like. The suggestions are listed under TiVo Suggestions in order of how
closely they match your preferences.
Try it out: Press GUIDE to bring up the TiVo Live Guide. Highlight a few programs and
rate them by pressing the THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN buttons. Then go to TiVo
Central, then Pick Programs to Record, then TiVo Suggestions. Suggested programs based
on your ratings appear in TiVo Suggestions. (If you don’t see programs yet, come back
later—it may take a few hours the first time.) You can press SELECT on a suggestion,
then set up a recording.
As an added bonus, when the recorder has empty space, it may automatically record some
of TiVo Suggestions. You will find them at the bottom of Now Playing, below programs
you requested. TiVo Suggestions never replace shows you request or prevent them from
being recorded. TiVo Suggestions are also always the first programs deleted to make room
for recordings you request.
Your personal TV preferences are
just that: personal. See the TiVo
Privacy Policy in Chapter 7, and the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) White
Paper available at www.tivo.com/privacy
for more information.
