Questions About the DIRECTV
How do I prevent TiVo Suggestions from being automatically recorded and listed on Now Playing List?
• Press the DIRECTV Button, then select Messages & Setup, then Settings, then Suggestions, then No.
Will my DVR still work without the DVR service?
• Without the DVR service, your DIRECTV
shows you request, provide Season Pass
provides you with new Showcases. Lastly, the service keeps your DVR updated to make sure you have the most current functionality
available for your DVR.
Will the DVR service collect information about my viewing habits?

confidentiality. DIRECTV has created a very sophisticated system with both protection and customization for our viewers in mind. It
is DIRECTV's promise to you that you will always maintain control over your personal information. For more information, see the

How does my TiVo Suggestions list get generated? How does it know what I like?
• Your personal TV preferences are based on programs you have rated with THUMBS UP and THUMBS DOWN. Also, any program
you record that does not already have a Thumb rating is automatically given one THUMB UP.
TiVo Suggestions isn't making accurate suggestions for me.
• If you haven't had your DVR for very long, give it time. It may take a week or two of use before your personal preference profile has
enough data to make interesting suggestions. The more you press THUMBS UP and THUMBS DOWN and the more programs you
record, the better TiVo Suggestions will be.
If other members of your household are pressing THUMBS UP on shows you don't care for, and vice versa, you may find TiVo
Suggestions is making some suggestions that you like, and some that are more appropriate for other members of your household.
