TiVo News #73: Passionate Pay-offs & Supernatural Suggestions

Letter from the
Editor
Okay, I have a confession to make: I went to the Emmys
without telling you. Well, actually, I just went to the TV Guide After
Party, because, well, like I’d want to be sitting in the audience at an
awards event when I’m used to having… er, you understand.

Anyway, everyone who plays someone else for a living was there. That is,
every desperate housewife. The star of Veronica Mars (my current fave
show). Mandy Moore and her Scrubs beau. Nicole Richie and entourage. Also
found was Matthew Fox from Lost. Among many others. And everyone I was
lucky enough to meet shared their deep love for the amazing TiVo®
service. I even told a few of them to apply to be TiVo
Ambassador (just like I tell you)!

But really, the Emmys are SO last season. With all the new fall shows
swooping in, we put together a TV
cheat sheet to help you bring order to your television itinerary,
listing every season premiere and pilot chronologically (ever tried entering
"PILOT" as a WishList™ keyword search, by the by?) with
convenient one-click access to TiVo Central Online for super-fast scheduling.
Being a TiVo subscriber, as Martha Stewart would say, is truly a "good
thing," eh?

Goodie-goodie Gumdrops,
Shanan

P.S. Don’t forget: TiVo boxes now start as
low as $49.99* after mail-in rebate, so it’s easier than ever to refer
friends to the TiVo® service and rack up those TiVo Points so you
can apply to be the TiVo
Ambassador (it’s hard to argue with $50,000 worth of cash & prizes).

Missed that last line? Subscriber Stephen R. suggests you take advantage
of closed-captioning and the TiVo® instant replay button to ensure
you catch it the second time around. "After you read what they said,
you can turn the CC off and continue watching," he explains. "Many
TVs nowadays have a ‘CC on when volume muted’ option so you can easily
turn on and off the CC just by pressing the mute button." (Bonus
tip: Use CC and press the FWD button once to speed through slow, dialogue-heavy
parts of programs like the news, opening monologues of talk shows, etc.,
and still get all the good stuff. You’ll be able to read the dialogue
and finish the program in nearly half the time! When you want to hear
something real time, just hit instant replay.)

Just so you know… Showcase content, including video, does not reduce the recording capacity of your TiVo DVR, nor does it tie up your phone line. Be sure your TiVo DVR is connected to your home network or plugged into your phone line to receive TiVo Showcases. Depending on your DVR model, programming source and schedule, some customers may not have access to Showcase video programming.

Never
mind "Jeopardy." William O. from Timberlake, NC claims the TiVo®
service has made watching every TV show a game: "While watching our
favorite shows, we like to play TiVo Blooper Challenge. A game played
by two or more players. When you see a blooper be the first person to
announce "TiVo Blooper Challenge." The person with the remote
then rewinds the show to a point a few seconds before the contested blooper.
For example, a blooper could be when a person on the show is reading a
birthday card and then in the next shot you see them open the card. Or
scenes being out of order. If upon review, the other player(s) agree you
found a blooper, then you win the remote. Everyone at my house enjoys
using the TiVo remote. This is a nice way to share the fun." size="2">
