Did you know that you can “page” through your TiVo’s guide data simply by using the fast forward button? I use this tip all the time to quickly navigate through the guide. If you don’t use this button, you’re stuck having to navigate the guide one show at a time. This tip will obviously save you a lot of time if you frequently access the guide. Does anybody have any other tips for navigating the guide?
Recently I went ahead and added my local Fox affiliate (33-1) to my Series 3 as a new OTA (over the air) channel. Right away, I noticed that my TiVo didn’t have guide data for Fox 33-1. Instead, my S3 would display “To be announced” whenever I accessed the guide data for this channel.
After doing some research I stumbled upon a form on TiVo.com where you can request a change to the guide data. Within two hours of submitting the form, I received an email from TiVo letting me know that the problem was being worked and that it should be resolved shortly. Once I got home from work, I noticed that my TiVo had received a new message. Sure enough, the message indicated that Fox 33-1 had been added as a new channel! Thanks to TiVo’s excellent customer service, I am now able to view the guide data for Fox 33-1 and ultimately schedule recordings on this channel.
I don’t know about you but, I’ve never seen customer service like this in my life… Great job TiVo!
Which guide style do you use? I tend to stick with the Grid Guide style since it allows me to see upcoming programming for several different channels all at once. Does anybody out there use the TiVo Live Guide style? If yes, why do you prefer the Live Guide format over Grid Guide format?

For all you newbies out there, you can access the Guide Options by hitting the “Enter” button while the guide is displayed on your screen.

As a side note, I would like to thank Andrew for sending me two TiVo reward referrals. Andrew recently activated two TiVoHDs and he was kind enough to put me down as his referrer. If you’d like to put me down as your referrer, all you need to do is enter my email address (raianoat AT gmail DOT com) when you activate your TiVo. Thanks Andrew. It really is appreciated!
