TiVo Records Unrequested Shows

 

TiVo Suggestions are Recording

  • If the TiVo records programming you did not set up, that means TiVo Suggestions are Recording

  • If you don't want TiVo to record suggestions, change your TiVo Suggestions preferences
 

Check OnePass Options

Not All Shows in My Shows are Recordings

  1. Check the OnePass options; when Recordings & Streaming video is selected, streaming options appear in My Shows
     
    • Streaming shows are identified by a blue or gray icon, resembling a Wi-Fi symbol
    • Streaming options do not take up hard drive space
       
  2. Don't have a Netflix or Hulu account?
    • You will still see these options when Recording & Streaming is selected
       
  3. Press the C button on your remote to change your My Show settings
     
    • All Episodes (even the ones that are not available in gray)
    • My Episodes (everything available, recordings and streaming)
    • Recordings only
 

Check WishList Recordings

WishList recordings in My Shows are identified by a folder with a star

  • 4 Tuners, 2 Tuners, Single Tuners, and Minis on TiVo Experience 3
      4K 6 Tuners, 6 Tuners , 4K Minis, and Minis on TiVo Experience 4
     
    • Go to TiVo Home | left arrow to Menu | Search | View My WishList Searches
 

Check the To Do List

See what the TiVo is planning to record in the future

  • 4 Tuners, 2 Tuners, Single Tuners, and Minis on TiVo Experience 3

    • Go to TiVo Central | Manage Recordings & OnePass | To Do List  (see steps)

  • 4K 6 Tuners, 6 Tuners , 4K Minis, and Minis on TiVo Experience 4

    • Go to TiVo Home | left arrow to Menu |  Manage | To Do List

If your TiVo is recording shows you did not request, TiVo Suggestions, OnePass settings, or WishList recordings may be turned on. Check My Shows for streaming content, which does not use storage space, and review your WishList Searches and To Do List to see what is scheduled to record. You can change these settings to show only recorded programs and stop unwanted recordings.
