When there is empty space in the Now Playing List, the DVR service may record TiVo
Suggestions for you. Suggestions are marked in the Now Playing List with a TiVo icon
(
). The DVR never deletes a program you requested to make room for a suggestion.
Instead, suggestions are deleted to make room for recordings you schedule. A preference
that prevents TiVo Suggestions from recording automatically is described on page 97.
TiVo Suggestions that have been recorded once will not record again for at least 28 days.
Showcases
Looking for the biggest shows on TV? Showcases are your shortcut to the most exciting
events and the best movies. Whether you’re looking for a hit comedy or want to get the
most from your subscription to the premium channels, Showcases offer you a quick,
interactive way to get what you want. You’ll always find something fun and unusual in
the TiVolution Magazine Showcase. Showcases are updated several times weekly during
the DVR’s daily phone call.
To explore Showcases and schedule recordings:
1. Press the DIRECTV button to see DIRECTV Central.
2. Select Showcases. A collection of Showcases appears.
3. All of the showcases may not fit on the screen. You can use the CHAN DOWN button
to see showcases that are not visible at first. Each showcase is represented by a
graphic. A white box appears around the highlighted showcase and a graphic displays
at the top of the screen. Use the navigation buttons, RIGHT, LEFT, UP and DOWN, to
highlight the showcase you want and then press SELECT. A list of themes in that
Showcase appears.
