TiVo Suggestions is a personalized list of shows selected to match your preferences. How 
is this magic possible? Any time you watch programs, live or pre-recorded, or browse 
programs with the Program Guide, you can rate them. If you like a program, press the 
green THUMBS UP

™

 

™

 button on your remote control. If you dislike it, press the red 

THUMBS DOWN

™

 

™

. You can give a program up to three Thumbs, up or down. 

Over time, the more shows you rate with your Thumb buttons, the better TiVo 
Suggestions will be at finding programs you like. The suggestions are listed under TiVo 
Suggestions in order of how closely they match your preferences. 

 Press GUIDE to bring up the DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide

™

. Highlight a 

few programs and rate them by pressing the THUMBS UP

™

 

™

 or THUMBS DOWN

™

 

™

 button. Then go to “DIRECTV Central,” then “Pick Programs to Record,” then 

“TiVo Suggestions.” Suggested programs based on your Thumb ratings appear in TiVo 
Suggestions. (If you don’t see programs yet, come back later—it may take a few hours the 
first time.) You can press SELECT on a suggestion, then set up a recording.

As an added bonus, when the DIRECTV DVR



 has empty space, it may automatically 

record some of TiVo Suggestions. You will find them at the bottom of the Now Playing 
List, below programs you requested. TiVo Suggestions never replace shows you explicitly 
request and they do not prevent those shows from being recorded. Recorded suggestions 
are always the first programs deleted to make room for recordings you request.
