Letter from the Editor Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks for a defining moment, oh yes. Watch your e-mail Inbox. Your TiVo Central screen. The twinkling eyes of your best TiVo friend. Coy? Me? P.S. This was fun: Jim Barton, the father of TiVo technology, received enthusiastic applause and a 2006 Emmy�® award last week to the beat of a TiVo “Bloop.” The show’s producers decided to fill the Shrine Auditorium with the familiar sound effect just before the TiVo service was announced as winner. Clever, that Academy! | Table of Contents You’re Invited: It’s not too late! TiVo�® KidZone Corner |
| TiVo Tip: Season Passâ„¢ Alert What happens when the WB network merges with the UPN network? Apparently, a new network called CW is born. If you have a favorite WB or UPN show, here’s how to safeguard against missing an episode during the naming transition:
Once the merger is complete (around Sept. 18), and after you ensure your CW Season Pass recordings are still appearing in your To Do List, you can delete your WishList searches. For more information on how to use WishList searches, go to Using WishList Searches. Bonus Tip: Superfans of said show may want to keep WishList searches, as they’re an excellent way to catch specials, retrospectives, and interviews with cast members on talk shows. Back to top |

| TiVo�® KidZone Corner Get the TV that’s good for you with TiVo KidZone Guides! Wondering what “TiVo Presents E/I Programming” is all about? It’s a KidZone Guide dedicated to ‘Educational and Informational’ programming for kids—programs the broadcaster deems particularly beneficial for children, having positive effects on their social development as well as emotional and cognitive well-being. Turns out research over the past decade confirms that E/I programming can positively influence a child’s readiness to start school and do well. What a smart idea, those TiVo KidZone Guides! Have a browse. Curious about the origin of E/I programming? Guidelines adopted by the FCC in 2004 required broadcasters to air E/I programming for children, ages 16 and under, for a minimum of three hours per week. You can recognize such a program by the on-screen “watermark,” a uniform E/I symbol that appears throughout the duration of the show. Back to top |
