What’s on My TiVo

Here’s what’s in my TiVo’s Season Pass Manager. They’re not necessarily in order from most favorite to least favorite. The shows that air multiple times per week have been pushed lower in the list to avoid conflicts with shows that only air once. That’s why the HBO shows are down so far, for example. You’ll note that I have a lot of Auto-Record WishLists as opposed to just using Season Passes (SP). There are several reasons for that. First is that SPs are channel specific while WishLists(WL) are not. So a WL allows the TiVo to avoid conflicts by finding programs across multiple channels. Second, I may have set some of these up while a program was not listed in the guide data. Like with ‘Nip/Tuck’, it’s currently on hiatus, so I wouldn’t be able to select it in TiVo’s listing in order to get a SP. But I could still set up a WL for it. This is a great way to catch a specific movie you want to see but don’t know when it’ll be on again. And the final reason is that I may want TiVo to do broad searches, like the ‘Law Order’ WL will record all 3 of the Law & Order shows, ‘Ken Burns’ will pick up anything he directed, etc.

1. Survivor WL


2. CSI WL
