Select the DVR you would like to use as your default DVR. This DVR will receive all scheduling requests made using the TiVo DVR Scheduler. (Note: Don't worry, you can change this selection at any time using the "Settings" menu.)

Note: Once you're signed-in to your tivo.com account, you will remain signed in for 30 minutes, or until you sign out using the Settings menu (see below).

Finding and recording shows

Show the steps

From the TiVo DVR Scheduler home screen, you can choose shows from one of TiVo's provided lists; search for a particular show, actor, director, or keyword; or browse by category. Select one of the following options:

• Most Popular. Browse the most popular shows as chosen by TiVo users. The list is updated daily.
• Daily Picks. Choose a show from a list of daily recommendations.
• Search by title, actor, director, or keyword. Enter show title, actor or director name, or a keyword to see a list of shows that match your criteria.
• Browse by Category. Browse programs in a variety of genres and show types.

Note: If you enter a "*" after any search term, the TiVo DVR Scheduler will look for all occurrences of that phrase and any sequence of characters after it. For example, if you search for "west," the TiVo DVR Scheduler will find shows including only the word "west." However, if you search for "west*," the TiVo DVR Scheduler will find shows that include the words "western" as well as "west."

When you find a show to record, select it to read a synopsis of the show or series and schedule your recording. To schedule a recording, select one of the following:

• 1-Click Record: Record the episode with pre-set recording options. The first time you select 1-Click Record, you will be prompted to set these options. (You can always change these options later from the "Settings" page. See setting recording options below for more.)
• Record this Episode: Record the episode and set recording options. To set these options as your default 1-Click Recording options, click the check box at the top of the screen.
• Get a Season Pass: Record new episodes each week. You can even specify whether to skip reruns or record all episodes.
