Record Every Episode of Your Favorite Shows

All you do is find the show you want by searching or browsing the TV listings and then specify whether you want to record all episodes or just the new ones.
Record Two Shows at Once

• Digital cable only (record 2 shows at once, requires up to two CableCARD decoders from your cable company; supports HD channels)

Search for shows

You can search for shows in a particular category, like "Cooking" shows about "Chocolate" or "Football" programs with "Giants". You can even find every movie with Johnny Depp or every movie directed by Steven Spielberg. If it is available on your television lineup, the TiVo service can find it and record it for you.
Record by actor, director or keyword
Use a TiVo WishList search to find every show with your favorite actor, director, keyword or sports team. Your TiVo DVR will save your search and if you like, automatically record every new show that matches it.
TiVo Suggestions
TiVo Suggestions are personalized shows selected to match your preferences. Any time you watch a live TV or recorded show or see something you like or don't like in the Guide, you can rate that show by using the THUMBS UP or the THUMBS DOWN buttons on your remote control. When the TiVo DVR has empty space, it will automatically record shows that are liked by other people who like the same shows you do. This is an excellent way to discover new shows that may interest you. TiVo Suggestions never replace any shows you request or prevent them from being recorded. Suggestions are always the first programs to be deleted when it's time for one of your shows to record.
Pre-approve kids TV
When you enable KidZone on your TiVo DVR, you can select the programs and channels that your children can watch. You can also block specific shows on channels that you have approved, to keep your kids from watching those shows you just can't stand. When you let your children watch TV you'll be comfortable knowing they can only get to shows you've approved.
Schedule shows online
You can search for TV shows by title, category, keyword or person in the Find TV shows section of tivo.com. When you've found the show you want to record, simply log in to your tivo.com account, select the DVR you want to set to record and decide whether you want to record just that episode or every episode of the series. You have access to the same settings as you do when you set up a recording on the DVR itself.
