Auto-record WishList programs Your TiVo DVR will automatically record any shows
matching your Wishlist search criteria until you modify or delete the WishList search.
Edit or delete Wishlist search You can change the WishList search — for example, to correct
a misspelling or to add a category to narrow the results — or cancel it.
Using the Asterisk (*) in WishList Searches
To search for similar words in a Keyword or Title WishList, use the asterisk (*) as a wild card
symbol that replaces the endings of words. For example, the keyword AIRP* would find shows
containing “airport,” “airplane,” “airplanes,” as well as the movie “Airplane!” To enter an
asterisk, press the SLOW button on the remote.
Auto-recording a WishList search
You can set a WishList search to auto-record, and it will record every show it finds, on any
channel you receive.
Each auto-recording WishList Search and its upcoming recordings are marked with a star
in To Do List and the Season Pass Manager. If you want to be sure that all matching shows are
recorded, give the auto-recording WishList search a high priority in the Season Pass Manager.
Finding shows online
Using tivo.com
Schedule recordings on your TiVo DVR at home from any computer with Internet access and a
standard web browser. Go to tivo.com/tco
to search for shows by time, title, keyword, or actor/
director. Schedule a single episode, or set up a Season Pass
recording with all the options you
have on your TiVo DVR at home. You can even set the show not to record if it conflicts with a
recording already scheduled on your TiVo DVR.
You can use the asterisk only at the
end of a keyword, not to omit letters
at the beginning or in the middle of a
word.
The more specific a WishList Search
is, the better suited it is to auto-
recording. For example, a Category
WishList Search for the category
Documentary would find every upcoming
documentary. You might not want to record
them all, but you could occasionally browse
the search results list and choose the ones
you do want to record.
You can schedule a recording within
an hour of its air time from any place
that you have access to the Internet!
