It is hardly random. It's recording because it's configured to record
Tivo Suggestions. READ YOUR MANUAL, so you'll know how to turn that off
if you'd prefer your TiVo not do that.

The Tivo software is not elegant or advanced enough for customers to
understand how it works.

Try your cable DVR. It's much bettre than Tivo and if you need help
with something the Comcast product has video help.

Someone needs to do a side-by-side comparison of the HD DirecTV TiVo and the
Comcast DVR for Sean. Unless you are a complete retard, you will be able to
see that TiVo has it all over Comcast.

Unless you are a top posting complete retard you'd be able to see that
I've never compared the Comcast or any other cable DVR to the soon to
be obsolete, $1000 Directv HD Tivo.

Cable, dillweed. Cable.

Where? With the DirecTv $200 credit, the $250 I can get selling a 240
hour HDVR2 on eBay, and the $250 it costs for an HDTV tuner for OTA,
that pays for the puppy !!

shipping.

The thread seems to have gone off target...

Your Tivo will look at what sorts of shows you are recording, and will try
to record other shows that are similar (eg. it sees you recording Crime
Dramas, and records a random episode of Miami Vice late one night.)

These are called Tivo Suggestions. They are only recorded if you have
nothing else scheduled (eg. a season pass) and are the first thing to be
deleted if it needs space for something you've scheduled. You can turn
this off in the UI under preferences. Otherwise, you can help train Tivo
by giving shows thumbs-up/thumbs-down. All shows that you tell Tivo to
record automatically get 1 thumbs-up. You can give any shows a thumbs
rating, and it will use this information to determine what else you might
like. This takes a bit of time, so don't be surprised if Tivo starts
suggesting totally strange programs.
