Letter From the Editor

Don’t you wish all the new season premieres would just magically appear on your list of recordings the second they air? Done! TiVo is making sure the best of the new fall season breezes right into your living room via our brand-new, better-than-ever “Guru Guide” covering the networks’ new pilots, making it as easy as “Get this Guide” to schedule automatic recordings of the networks’ new lineups. (Try that with a cable DVR!)

If you’re broadband-connected, you’ll find TiVo Guru Guides on a TiVo box near you (under Find Programs & Downloads > KidZone Recommendations & Guru Guides). If not, we’ve queued them up for your online-scheduling pleasure so everyone wins! Just remember, if you’re connected to the TiVo service via phone, not broadband, it may take up to 24 hours to schedule a recording online.

To the whispers on Wisteria Lane,
Shanan

P.S. – If you need an excuse to upgrade, don’t forget: with TiVo HD, you can now watch any YouTube video on the best screen in the house—your TV! Let me show you! Read more below for an extra large way to enjoy TiVo.

TiVo Tip: You’ve Got Options

As you start scheduling Season Pass™ recordings for all the new fall shows, don’t forget, you’ve got options. Instead of just selecting “Get a Season Pass,” and calling it a year, highlight “Options” and review the default settings. For example:

Who needs repeats?  Opt to select “First run only” and save yourself from the inevitable disappointment of running home to watch your new favorite show only to discover it’s a re-run!

Too much of a good thing.  If you’re recording the nightly news, “Keep at most” comes in handy. You only need 1. After that, even good news is old news.

Play it Safe!  Say you love those premium channel programs, but not how they ignore the hour and half-hour marks, keeping you from watching all of “next week’s previews.” Play it safe and pad the recording. Adjust the “Stop recording” option to be at least five minutes past the scheduled time so you’ll never be left hanging again.

Pause-worthy Entertainment News Bytes

Friends Return:  Jennifer Aniston is currently filming a guest appearance on NBC’s “30 Rock,” reports Associated Press.

TiVo Tip: Find Programs & Downloads > WishList search > Create a WishList™ search > Actor > ANISTON, JENNIFER and you’ll find your favorite friend waiting the minute she arrives. Don’t forget to set the WishList search to auto-record.

Imagine:   The story of John Lennon is headed for the big screen with “Nowhere Boy,” which will focus on the former Beatle’s troubled adolescence. Matt Greenhalgh’s script details the story of Lennon as a lonely teenager abandoned by his mother and raised by his authoritarian aunt. His only escape is music, art and his fateful friendship with Paul McCartney.

TiVo Tip: Music, Photos, Products, & More > Rhapsody > Search by Artist > JOHN LENNON and play all 173 available tracks, from Give Peace a Chance to Whatever Gets You Thru the Night. Try Rhapsody on TiVo FREE for 30 days.
