Tour 4: Find New Programs
Your DIRECTV ® HD DVR makes it easy for you to find what you want to watch—by
responding to your interests and collecting the best the networks have to offer.
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 Program Guide, you can rate them. If you like a program, press the
green THUMBS UP
™ ™ button on your remote control. If you dislike it, press the red
THUMBS DOWN ™ ™ . You can give a program up to three Thumbs, up or down.
Over time, the more shows you rate with your Thumb buttons, 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! Press GUIDE to bring up the DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide ™ . Highlight a
few programs and rate them by pressing the THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN
button. Then go to DIRECTV Central, then Pick Programs to Record, then TiVo
Suggestions. Suggested programs based on your Thumb 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.
Auto-Recording TiVo Suggestions. As an added bonus, when the HD DVR has available
space, it may automatically record TiVo Suggestions. (You can turn this feature off if you
prefer; see page 101 for details.) You will find recorded TiVo Suggestions at the bottom of
the Now Playing List, below programs you requested, marked with a TiVo icon (
).
Your personal TV preferences are
just that: personal. DIRECTV
privacy policies are included in your first
monthly statement, and are available
online at DIRECTV.com.
Only programs airing on channels
in the Channels You Receive list
can be recorded as TiVo Suggestions.
