Tivo problem

[marathon_mom]

Got Tivo just a couple days before we left on vacation. It's randomly recording shows. Do I have something set that I'm not aware of? It's really goofy channels too. Not things I would watch. Anyone?

Have you tried rebooting (unplug and plug back in)?

I found this on TiVo support about the machine recoring the wrong show.

If that doesn't work check to see if there is a FW (firmware) upgrade. Or see if you can get phone support from TiVo.

Tell your husband to stop recording the 'skin-a-max' channel and not admitting it...

Mine tapes like every Jackie Chan movie and the Jackie Chan cartoon.

What gave you the first clue??? Sheesh! Why would those channels be SUGGESTED by Tivo? idiots.

I think sometimes Tivo sells the ability to make suggestions to their customers. I say this simply because I never watch cartoons, nor Jackie Chan type stuff and I also, suddenly started seeing the same things you did in my recorded shows.

I used to like the Tivo Suggestions, then it started recording things off the Spanish channel and on Nickelodeon so I had to shut it off. It thought I was a 9 year old mexican or something

Come on Down!!

I want to pick up a HD Tivo. They're starting to come down in price quite a bit. Last time I checked it was $999 and now they are $599 after rebate. Still way too high but I'm glad they are finally getting cheaper.

The model I saw was for directv and had 4 inputs so you can record 4 shows at once. I think it had a 250 gig hard drive or something around there.
