The beauty of Yahoo scheduling

If you have never tried scheduling your TiVo from Yahoo TV, your're missing out. There's a few simple steps getting it setup, but once you do, you've got a great new tool to record shows from any web connection. Maybe you're at the airport with your laptop and need to record a show before your flight takes off. Just a few clicks to find the show you want and you'll get an email confirmation like below.

From: TiVo Central Online
Subj: Your request for "Cold Pizza"
PLEASE NOTE: Since this program airs within 1 hour, you might miss it if your "Tivo1" DVR doesn't connect to the TiVo Service in time. We recommend scheduling this program directly on your TiVo DVR, otherwise it will simply be recorded the next time it airs.

Hello,

We have received your request to record "Cold Pizza" on Channel 26 for
Thu 3/30 at 9:00 AM.

Priority: Only record if nothing else conflicts
Quality: Medium

Keep Until: Space needed
Start Recording: On Time
Stop Recording: On Time

The next time your DVR named "Tivo1" connects to the TiVo service, it will receive this request and send you another e-mail with the results.
You can always see the status of your requests by checking your TiVo Messages and the To Do List or Recording History.

Best regards,

TiVo

If you need to re-request this program, be sure to change at least one recording option so it will be recognized as a new request by your
TiVo DVR.
