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.
