Watch one show, record another
Got a universal TiVo DVR? Use antenna or cable as your programming signal? Then you can rig your TiVo to record one show as you watch another by splitting your signal. Here's how.

Are you receiving a "Please make a daily call" or "Daily call required" message on your TiVo DVR?
Read these troubleshooting steps to get back on the TiVo track.

In Search of TiVo?
Looking to love another TiVo DVR? The following retailers are experienced TiVo matchmakers: Best Buy, Good Guys, Abt Electronics, and American Satellite.


Q: Eli S., writes, "All of a sudden, my program listings are incorrect. My cable company switched around the channels but TiVo doesn't seem to be getting that information. It's been two weeks now and it has made its daily call many times. What's up?"

A:The first thing you'll want to do when you notice channels are missing or incorrect from your guide (whether or not you believe your cable company has changed the lineup) is to check your 'Channels you Receive' screen. Here you can see if the channels are actually missing. Go to TiVo Central by pressing the TiVo button on your remote control. Choose Messages & Setup, then My Preferences, then Customize Channels, then Channels you Receive. If the missing channel is listed there but does not have a checkmark next to it, press the SELECT key to add the checkmark. All channels that have checkmarks next to them will appear in the Live TV Guide.

If that still doesn't correct the problem of missing or incorrect program guide information, you can report a lineup issue to one of our Lineup Specialists, who will research the case. Any changes that are made will download automatically to your DVR during a daily call. This process can take approximately one week to be completed.


Got your game face on? Here are a few tips, TiVo style, to get you psyched up for the upcoming NFL season:

 

Kick-off for west coast games commence at 6:00 p.m. Start recording the game on time, but don't get comfy on the couch until 8:00 p.m. That way, you can catch up to the live broadcast by "enjoying" the half time show in, well… half the time!

Create a WishList Keyword for your fantasy team players. That way, you'll catch 'em if they land a late-night talk show or end up with a nice profile piece.

Be those guys in the booth. The eight-second instant replay button on your TiVo remote is about the length of the average NFL play. And, you've got slow-mo, too!

Don't forget: Always pad your game recordings to allow for overtime, including your Season PassTM selection of "Monday Night Football." Just select Options and highlight the line labeled Stop Recording. Push the time out at least an hour to protect yourself from missing even one nail-biting completion!

P.S. Put 400 ESPN experts in a room for a few hours and what do you get? The ESPN 100--a single list that ranks, in order, the most important people, places, events, achievements, teams and trends of the past 12 months in the world of sports. And guess what? TiVo made the roster!
