Finding shows
Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / )
and periods ( . ) with spaces. For
example, use 20 20 to search for the
title "20/20." Any other marks, such as
apostrophes ( ' ), asterisks ( * ), and
ampersands ( & ), are ignored.
For example, use 6 OCLOCK NEWS to
search for the title "6 O'Clock News."
When you search for shows using
the TiVo app on your tablet or mobile
phone, you don't have to use a letter
grid to select letters. Instead, you can enter
search terms using the device's on-screen
keyboard. Just download and install the
TiVo app on your mobile device to get
started.
