Recommended shows
With all the programming available to your TiVo Mini, sometimes you might want show
recommendations. The TiVo service is here to help: the Discovery Bar, and Collections put a
variety of recommendations at your fingertips.
The Discovery Bar
The Discovery Bar appears at the top of most TiVo screens. What you’ll see in the Discovery
Bar depends on you! Often, Discovery Bar displays ideas for show you might like based on
what shows you record and mark as your favorites. For example, if you record the show
“American Idol,” the Discovery Bar might display thumbnails for other shows, like “So You
Think You Can Dance.” It all depends on what you’re interested in and what’s available to you.
The Discovery Bar is also displays lots of other great viewing options: popular shows or sports
events that are playing on live TV, items from your My Shows list, TiVo Suggestions, new
video on demand shows, and more!
Collections
For more ideas, browse collections, or groups of shows on related subject matter recommended
by the TiVo service, partners, or video providers. Find Collections by choosing ‘Find TV,
movies, & videos’ from the TiVo Central screen, then choose ‘Browse TV & movies,’ then
‘Collections.’
When viewing a collection, press the button on your remote control to see options, or the
button to change the sort order (choose between sorting by name or sorting by the order
determined by the TiVo service).
