folder click on the

 folder, 

select the show you want and recover it.

Get a Season Pass® to your Favorite Shows

With TiVo, There’s Always Something On

With so many ways to find great shows to watch, the TiVo service puts an end to channel surfing.

My Shows

My Shows

 is your TiVo inbox. It stores all your recorded 

programs as well as TiVo Suggestions and handy 
shortcuts to TV On Demand, YouTube and more. With 
the ability to record up to 6 shows at once and store 
up to 1,000 hours, you’ll find a vast library of great 
entertainment here.

Helpful Hint: 

 To get to 

My Shows

 super-fast from any screen, press the 

TiVo button

 at the top

of your remote TWICE.

What to Watch Now

TiVo’s unique 

What to Watch Now

 menu provides 

instant shortcuts to the best live TV that’s currently 
airing, so you never have to scroll through the guide 
again to find something to watch! Access it from 
the TiVo Central screen or by selecting the shortcut 
within the 

My Shows

 folder.

TiVo Suggestions & Discovery Bar

Part of TiVo’s magic is that it learns your preferences and suggests shows it thinks you’ll like. 

Suggestions 

can be found in the 

Suggestions

 folder within your 

My Shows

 folder or in the 

Discovery Bar

 at the top of most TiVo screens.

Don’t worry – TiVo 

Suggestions

 will never replace shows you request or prevent them from being 

recorded, and they are always the first programs deleted to make room for recordings you request.

Powerful Search Tools

TiVo’s Universal Search

 allows you to easily find a show or movie based on title, actor or keyword. TiVo 

searches across both live TV and TV On Demand to find what you want. If you’re interested in a specific actor 
(“George Clooney”) or topic (“Football”), create a 

WishList® Search

. The TiVo service constantly searches 

in the background and every time a movie or show airs that matches your criteria, it will be recorded. To use 
these search tools, go to TiVo Central then select “

Find TV Shows, Movies and Videos
