TiVo Staple Gun Tivo Digital Video Recorders User Manual

Recording options let you customize each recording, so you always get the results you want. 
You can set recording options when you first schedule a recording, or by selecting a program 
title from the To Do List or the Season Pass Manager. To view or change recording options:

On the Program Information screen, select either Record This Episode or Get a Season Pass. 
Then use RIGHT arrow to highlight Options, and press SELECT.

On the Recording Options screen, use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight an option, then the 
RIGHT and LEFT arrows to change the setting. 

When you’re done, press SELECT or highlight Record With These Options. Press SELECT 
again to schedule the recording with the new options. 

To cancel your changes, press LEFT arrow, or highlight Don’t Change Recording Options 
and press SELECT.

Recording Options include:

Choose from Basic, Medium, High, or Best. The default setting is High. Best 

looks great, but keep in mind that it takes up more space. See page 52 for more.

Set the maximum number of episodes to be saved. (This option is available 

only for a repeating recording.) 

 Skip reruns or watch them all? Choose from Repeats & First Run, First Run 

Only, or All (With Duplicates).  

For a repeating recording, choose how long to keep each episode. Space Needed 

is the default setting, or choose Until I Delete.  

 For a one-time recording, set the minimum amount of time to keep the 

program. The default setting is Until Space Needed, but you can choose to keep it longer.

The Record Quality option is  

available only before the DVR 

begins recording.
