Questions About Now Playing
Can I recover a recorded program that was deleted?
• There is no way to bring back a program that has been deleted from Now Playing. You
can choose to save programs longer, though. See page 30 for details.
Can I copy or archive programs to a Zip drive or any other computer storage media?
• The recorder does not copy or archive recordings to any device other than a VCR.
I haven’t scheduled enough programs to fill my recorder, but when I try to schedule
more programs, the recorder says there isn’t room.
• The TiVo service’s smart scheduling features track not only how much space you
currently have on your recorder, but also how much space will be needed in the future
to record all of the programs you have scheduled. If your recorder will be full at some
point in the future, the TiVo service informs you and suggests options—such as
allowing some programs to be deleted early—that will allow you to schedule
additional recordings. With the TiVo service, you always have the final say over what
gets recorded and how long it is kept.
• In addition, the amount of recording space the recorder needs varies from channel to
channel and from show to show. In general, the more action you see on your screen,
such as in fast-moving sports or action movies, the more recording space is required.
Weaker video signals may also require more space. The amount of space required for
each show you record affects the total hours of recording capacity in your recorder.
