TiVo’s Suggestions
TiVo’s 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 TiVo Live Guide, you can rate them by pressing the THUMBS
UP and THUMBS DOWN buttons ( ). You can give a program up to three
Thumbs.
Over time, the more shows you rate with your THUMBS buttons, the better TiVo’s
Suggestions will be at finding programs you like. The suggestions are listed under TiVo’s
Suggestions in order of how closely they match your preferences.
Try it out: Press GUIDE to bring up the TiVo Live Guide. Highlight a few programs and
rate them by pressing the THUMBS buttons. Then go to TiVo Central, then Pick
Programs to Record, then TiVo’s Suggestions. Suggested programs based on your
THUMBS Ratings appear in TiVo’s 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.
As an added bonus, when the recorder has empty space, it may automatically record some
of TiVo’s Suggestions. You will find them at the bottom of Now Playing, below programs
you requested. TiVo’s Suggestions never replace shows you request or prevent them from
being recorded. TiVo’s Suggestions are also always the first programs deleted to make
room for recordings you request.
Your personal TV preferences are
just that: personal. See TiVo’s
Privacy Policy in Chapter 7, and the

Paper available at
