Why is my Tivo constantly recording things I don't ask it to?
The little bugger has a mind of its own I'm always finding shows recorded from the Home and Garden channel, Oprah, and the Entertainment channel. If I didn't know any better I would think the Tivo was either a bored housewife or a gay man who loves interior decorating.
Answer:
It's Tivo Suggestions. I had the same problem with mine - you can turn it off by doing the following:
Press the TiVo button, go to the Messages and Settings menu, go to Settings, go to Recording, go to TiVo Suggestions, and select "No, don't record TiVo Suggestions".
It should stop acting like a bored housewife. =) Okay... I dont have it but I hear that once it gets a "flavour" for your tastes it will start taping stuff it thinks you may like...are you a bored housewife or a gay man who loves interior decorating??? If not then I'm guessing it's busted. Good luck figuring it out :) My Directv tivo has a setting called "suggestions" in the setup menu. You might want to turn this "off". I guessing the standard tivos have the same thing. turn off suggestions.
