Search by Title

If you know the name of the program you're looking for, or even the first part of the name, press
the TiVo button to go to TiVo Central
and follow these steps:
1. Choose whether to narrow the search to a particular category and subcategory, or select
All Programs.
2. Use the grid to spell out the title. Use the arrow buttons to move around, then press SELECT
on each letter you want. (Skip "a," "an," or "the.") As you select letters, an alphabetical list
of programs appears on the right. Keep selecting letters until you see your program.
Other buttons on the TiVo remote have special functions on the grid. The CLEAR button
erases everything; BACK erases one letter at a time; FORWARD inserts a space.

UP/DOWN arrows or CHAN UP/DOWN to highlight your program, and press SELECT.
The Program Information screen shows your available options.

Record by Time or Channel

use Record by Time or Channel. You'll have three options:

programs in a particular category. For example, you can browse all movies airing on Saturday

2. Press the UP/DOWN arrows to select the date you want to see, then press RIGHT arrow to
