Tivo: What is it?
How to get it
Technical stuff

Record three programmes, watch a fourth

Uh-oh. Dad wants to watch the football, Mum wants to watch Britain's Got Talent and the kids want to watch cartoons – but they're all on at the same time. No problem. Our TiVo service lets you record two programmes while you watch a third. Or, record three programmes while you watch another you recorded earlier. TV bliss.

TiVo suggests

When you use the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons on your remote, your Tivo box learns what you like and what you don't. This clever little box then suggests stuff it thinks you'll love.

WishList: like series link, but better

Don't worry about missing your favourite show again. Tivo Wishlist lets you save a favourite search with keywords – like a show, genre or actor. And once you've recorded a show, your TiVo box records every episode of that show until you tell it not to. It even saves suggestions by recording similar programmes to a special folder, ready to watch.

Search and record from your mobile

Even if you're miles from home, you can set your TiVo box to record from your mobile. Search the TV schedules and access recording options through your smartphone – you can even choose which of your TiVo boxes you want to record on.

A better way to find what you're looking for

It's brilliant having hundreds of channels to choose from, but scrolling through them all to find what you want to watch can take ages. With our TiVo service, you won't need to. Search by title, actor or director then once you've found what you're looking for you can add similar programmes straight to your WishList, so you’ll never miss them in future.

Control what the kids watch

Keep control of what your kids see on TV with parental control settings. Lock channels with your PIN, set age restrictions, block access to interactive services (like games, voting or gambling) and hide adult channels from the listings altogether.
