Setting a show's recording options

Recording options let you customize each recording, so you always get the results you want.
You can set recording options when you first schedule a recording, or by selecting a show from
the To Do List or the Season Pass manager. To view or change recording options:
1. On the show's screen, highlight either 'Record this episode' or 'Get a Season Pass.' Then
press the RIGHT arrow to highlight 'Options,' and press SELECT.
2. On the Recording Options screen, use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight an option, then the
RIGHT and LEFT arrows to change the setting.
3. When you're done, press SELECT or highlight 'Record show with these options.'
Recording Options include:
Recording Quality Choose from Basic, Medium, High, or Best. The default setting is Best. See
page 37 for more information. (This setting does not apply to HD or digital shows, and is
available only before the TiVo Product_Name begins recording.)
Keep At Most Set the maximum number of episodes to be saved. (This option is available only
for a repeating recording like a Season Pass.)
Record Skip reruns or watch them all? Choose from Repeats & first run, First-run only, or All.
(This option is available only for a repeating recording like a Season Pass.)
Keep Until Choose how long to keep a show (or each episode of a repeating recording). Space
Needed is the default setting, or choose Until I Delete and TiVo won't delete this episode to
record something new.
Start Recording Start recording up to ten minutes before a show is scheduled to begin. (This
option is available only before recording starts.)
