How do I cancel one TiVo recording and make another recording online?
For those of you who have TiVo, I know you can go to their website and pick programs to record, but can you cancel scheduled programs or anything that it recommends? I want to make sure my TiVo records the office tonight, but it’s on at the same time as The Wire. I’m trying to find a way that I can cancel the wire and get The Office and My Name is Earl. I want to make sure this is TiVoed and I’m not home so I ahve to do this through the TiVo website.
Answer#1: On your season pass option if you put The Office and My Name is Earl higher than the Wire then it will record those instead.
Answer #2: Do you have TiVo via DirecTV or is it a stand alone unit? Because I have it via DTV and can record two things at once (in addition to watching a 3rd recorded program); don’t know how the stand alone units operate…
Answer #3: I have two TIVOs, one in the family room and one in the master bedroom. The family room unit can record two shows at once. The one in the bedroom can only do one. I know it had something to do with how I had them installed as opposed to what kind of units they were.
Anyway, this will work: set a manual recording for The Office and My Name is Earl on the TiVo website. When you set it up to record you will be asked what to do if there are conflicts.
Answer #4: Whether you can record two programs at once depends on what model Tivo you have. Newer models have dual tuners (DT models). Older models (which they still sell) have a single tuner and can only record one program at a time.
