Questions About Recording Programs

I can’t find my program in Search By Title or Search Using WishLists, etc., even
though I know it’s on.

The recorder uses the Channels You Receive list to search for programs in all the

features under Pick Programs to Record. To check if you’ve selected the program’s

channel, go to Messages & Setup, then My Preferences, then Customize Channels,

then Channels You Receive. Does the channel have a check mark next to it? To give it

one, highlight the channel and press SELECT. (For instructions on personalizing this

list, see page 59.)

Look on the Phone Connection screen (from TiVo Central, select Messages & Setup,

then Recorder & Phone Setup, then Phone Connection) for the time of the last

successful daily call for program information. If it was more than 36 hours ago, your

recorder may be having trouble calling the TiVo service. Select “Make Test Call” to

test the current phone settings. If the test call does not succeed, see the troubleshooting

chapter in the Installation Guide for phone troubleshooting. Next, start a daily call by

selecting “Make Daily Call Now.” If your daily call is successful, new program

information will be downloaded and organized, and become available to search in

about 1 to 5 hours.

Is your TiVo service account up to date? Check your account status on the System

Information screen (from TiVo Central, select Messages & Setup, then System

Information). If your account is suspended or closed and you wish to re-activate it, use

the number on the back cover of this guide to call TiVo Customer Care.
