Can I copy or archive programs to a Zip drive, or any other computer storage media?
The TiVo Series2 DMS does not save or archive recordings to any device other than a VCR or its internal DVD recorder.
I haven’t scheduled enough programs to fill my DMS, but when I try to schedule more programs, the DMS says there
isn’t room.
The TiVo service includes smart scheduling features that track not only how much space you currently have on your DMS, but also
how much space will be needed in the future to record all of the programs you have scheduled. If your DMS will be full at some
point in the future, the TiVo service informs you and suggests options—such as allowing some programs to be deleted early—that
will allow you to schedule additional recordings. With the TiVo service, you always have the final say over what gets recorded and
how long it is kept.
In addition, the amount of recording space the DMS needs varies from channel to channel and from show to show. In general, the
more action you see on your screen, such as in fast-moving sports or action movies, the more recording space is required. Weaker
video signals may also require more space. The amount of space required for each show you record affects the total hours of
recording capacity in your DMS.
How can I fit more programs in
Now Playing?
To make space, delete some programs in Now Playing. You delete a program by highlighting its title, then pressing CLEAR.
