Cool Things You Can Do

Never be late for your favorite programs:

Working late? Stuck in traffic? Don’t worry! If

you’ve set up a recording or a Season Pass, the program will be waiting for you in Now
Playing. You can even start watching from the beginning as the program is recorded.

Make your television wishes come true with a WishList:

Have a favorite actor? A

favorite hobby or interest? How about a favorite sports team? If they’re on TV, chances
are a WishList will find them. For details see pages 38 through 44.

Looking for good movies? Kids’ shows? Science fiction?

With Search by Title, you can

browse all the upcoming programs in a particular category and find shows you didn’t
know were on. For details see page 37.

See a good preview, record the show:

If you’re watching live TV and a promotion

comes on for an upcoming program, you may see an IPreview™ icon like this
one:

Pressing THUMBS UP while the icon is visible automatically sets up a

recording for the upcoming program. You don’t have to remember when it’s on—it will
be recorded! (If you did not schedule a recording when you saw the icon, rewind until it’s
visible again.)

Use the Overtime Scheduler™ (and don’t miss overtime!):

Programs sometimes start

before they’re supposed to, and often end later than scheduled. By using recording
options, you can “pad” your recordings to account for variations by using the Overtime
Scheduler. For details see page 36.

Use the CLEAR button:

The CLEAR button hides the status bar, TiVo Live Guide,

channel banner, and anything else that is not part of the program. It clears the text entered
using the letter grid. And if you highlight a program’s title in a list, pressing CLEAR
deletes the program.
