DoNuTjC Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 This is for all you tivo guys out there... I just got one, hooked it up just fine, works and everything but what I don't understand (and I'll try to explain this the best that I can) is this: Today about 5:30pm PST I set tivo to record a different channel at 6pm PST... when 6pm came around, tivo asked if I want to turn the channel and start recording or to cancel... What I don't understand is why Tivo won't change the channel itself and start recording... What if I wanted to record something at 10pm on a different channel that I am on, and at like 9pm I had to go out or I went to bed and forgot to change the channel... Tivo won't change it? so it won't get recorded? Is there a way to make tivo change to the channel or what? I hope I explained this right Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galley Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I am guessing you have a stand-alone unit that can only record one channel at a time. that prompt is just a reminder that you have a program to be recorded beginning shortly. Since you are watching something at the present time, TiVo wants to know which one you'd rather watch or record. DirecTV/TiVo combo units can record two channels at once, so this rarely happens.
