Recommended shows

With all the programming available to your TiVo Premiere, sometimes you might want show
®
recommendations. The TiVo Service is here to help: the Discovery Bar, Collections, and Top
Picks (all available on TiVo with HD menus) and TiVo Suggestions (available on both TiVo
with HD menus and TiVo with SD menus) put a variety of recommendations at your fingertips.
The Discovery Bar
When you use TiVo with HD menus, the Discovery Bar appears at the top of most TiVo
screens. What you'll see in the Discovery Bar depends on what shows you record and mark as
your favorites. The Discovery Bar is a great way to find new shows based on what your TiVo
Premiere knows you already like, but it doesn't contain only shows. You'll also find thumbnails
for actors, collections of related shows, web video providers, and more.
For example, if you record the show "American Idol," the Discovery Bar might display
thumbnails for other shows, like "So You Think You Can Dance." It all depends on what you're
interested in and what's available to you.
Collections
When you use TiVo with HD menus, you can browse collections, or groups of shows on related
subject matter recommended by the TiVo Service, partners, or video providers. Find Collections
by choosing 'Find TV, movies, & video' from TiVo Central, then choose 'Browse TV &
movies,' then 'Collections.'
When viewing a collection, press the button on your remote control to see options, or the
button to change the sort order.
