Page 136: Recording Programs
Recording Programs The TiVo Plus service gives you smart recording capabilities that can detect when a program’s date or time slot has changed, can find the same program across multiple channels, and can even tell first run programs from repeats. In addition, with TiVo Plus you can set a different recording quality for each recording you schedule.

For example, say you have a Season Pass to ER and a Season Pass to Dateline. What if ER happens to air at the same time as Dateline? The DVR checks priorities in the Season Pass Manager to decide which program to record.
