Q u e s t i o n s A b o u t R e c o r d i n g P r o g r a m s

How do I record a Pay Per View event?

• From live TV, catch up to the present broadcast by pressing the ADVANCE button.

Then, order the program from your cable or satellite provider as you normally
would—by using your satellite or cable box remote, or by calling your cable/satellite
provider. (If the program violates a Parental Control limit—or a feature like Parental
Controls on your cable or satellite box—make sure to disable both TiVo Parental
Controls and your satellite or cable box’s Parental Controls.) To record the program,
search for it in Browse by Time. If there are no listings for Pay Per View events,
record the showing with the Manually Record Time/Channel option under TiVo
Central, then Pick Programs to Record, then Record Time/Channel.

Why wasn’t my program recorded?

• Check Recording History for an explanation of why the program did not record.

Recording History is the first selection in the To Do List (from TiVo Central, select
Pick Programs to Record, then To Do List, then View Recording History). Here are
some reasons why a program may not be available in Now Playing:

• The program may have been canceled by the network.

• If you had two Season Pass recordings that were on at the same time, only the

Season Pass with the higher priority would be recorded. Priorities and the Season
Pass Manager are described on page 49.

• The program may have been deleted from Now Playing by someone else.

• There may have been a conflict when requesting another program, and the

proposed resolution was to delete the missing program earlier than planned. If you
accepted that resolution, the program would have been deleted.
