  2. Press Forward to move the displayed time ahead, or press Rewind to move it backward. Press Advance to jump 24 hours ahead, or Instant replay to jump 24 hours back.
  3. Highlight a show's title in the guide, then press Record.
  4. On the screen that appears, select "Record This Showing." 
  5. After the TiVo service schedules the recording, you'll return to the guide.
  6. To find alternate airings of a show, highlight a show's title in the guide, then press Record.
  7. Select "Season Pass and Other Options," and "View Upcoming Episodes." You can use this list to choose the showing that is most convenient for you to record.
All recorded shows appear in your "Now Playing" or "My Shows" list, which you can access simply by pressing the TiVo button on your remote control twice!

You can choose to display the guide as a grid, or use the TiVo Live Guide. When you're viewing the guide, press Enter to display Guide Options and choose the view you want.
