Tivo question

[CD]

I just got Tivo a couple days ago and it just sort of randomly records programs that I'm not setting it to record. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?

[backstop]

Do this:

TiVo Messages & Setup >> Settings >> Preferences >> TiVo Suggestions

[TTB]

before deleting the recordings press the down thumb button three times

The up thumb and down thumb are how you tell Tivo what you don't like

[madyaks]

Damn I want a Tivo :(

So the up thumb means you like it and down thumb means you don't?

Why do they have it set up to just auto-record stuff in the first place?

If you don't already have it, you can get a 3 room system WITH TiVo for 99$. Excellent, excellent deal. With the TiVo, and the other two rooms, you'll actually be able to watch/record 4 unique channels at one time. Plus, with DirecTV, the TiVo service is only 4.99$ -- a steal. The service is worth 4.99, its not worth 13$.
