Suggestions; Pause In One Room, Watch In Another - Virgin Media TiVO User Manual

Suggestions

Like that? You might like this... your box makes
helpful Suggestions.
Your box learns what you like the most and makes Suggestions for
you. But not just any old stuff – it suggests programmes based on your
recordings and thumb ratings, and the thumb ratings of other users.
How to rate
1. You can rate any show – whether it's live
and showing now, recorded, or listed in
the TV Guide.
2. If you like it, press on your remote,
up to three times if you think it's brilliant.
If you don't like it, press on your remote,
up to three times if you really didn't like it!
Upcoming Suggestions
Check out your TiVo box's suggested
shows and review them.
1. Choose Search and Discover from the main
menu, then Discover TV & Movies, then TV.
2. Now select Suggestions which you'll see
displayed on the screen.
3. You can then use and to
tell your TiVo box what you think of
its suggested shows, or cancel the
recording.
Recorded Suggestions
All your recorded Suggestions are listed in
My Shows in a Suggestions folder. You can
watch, rate, and delete them just like any
other shows.

Auto-recording Suggestions
If there's space on your box, it'll automatically
record your Suggestions for you. But don't worry,
Suggestions won't replace the shows you've
chosen to record. And they're always the first to
be deleted to make room for specific recordings
you've set up. If you see a red record light on the
right hand side of the front of your set top box
and you haven't set any recordings, that' s TiVo
recording these Suggestions for you.

Pause in one room,
watch in another.
Plus, watch recordings on your other Virgin TV boxes.
Want to start watching a show in your
living room, pause it, and pick up where
you left off in bed? Or watch the recordings
stored on the box in your living room, on
the box in your bedroom?
Here's how. First you need to connect
your TiVo boxes. You can do this in two
easy ways: either use an Ethernet cable (if
the boxes are close by) or connect them
wirelessly by using a Powerline kit (if they're
far apart)
