How do I record my shows and movies with my TiVo® PVR and OnePass?

OnePass finds and saves all the episodes of a series available from your TiVo® PVR recordings, Cogeco On Demand and online sources (such as Netflix), and puts them together under “My Shows” in a list.

Good to know: All normal TiVo® recording options are available on TiVo® Mini.

Recording a single episode or a movie

Here’s how to record a single episode or a movie while you’re watching it:

1. Press the Rec button on your remote.
2. Select Record this episode or Record this movie.

You can also set a show to record from the TV guide:

1. Highlight the show you want to record, then press the Rec button on your remote.
2. Select Record this episode.

Good to know: If you try to record a show on a channel that isn’t part of your package, a black screen with a green status bar will appear.

With the OnePass feature, you just have to follow these steps:

1. Select the program you want to record from the TV guide.

About your TiVo® PVR storage limit

With the TiVo® PVR, you can record up to 6 high-definition (HD) or 4K shows simultaneously. It includes a smart scheduling feature that doesn’t just track the amount of space you currently have available on your TiVo® PVR, but also how much space will be needed in the near future to record all the shows you have scheduled.

If your TiVo® PVR will be full in the near future, it’ll let you know and will give you options (such as deleting some programs automatically), allowing you to schedule new recordings.
