How do I setup a OnePass or Season Pass series recording on my TiVo device?

A Season Pass recording keeps track of a show that is part of a series. Set one up, and the TiVo service will make sure to record the show every week–even if the day or time changes. You can even tell your TiVo box how many episodes to keep and if it should record reruns.

To setup a Season Pass series recording, please perform the following steps:

Step 1: After selecting a show to record, select "Get a Season Pass" on the information screen.

Step 2: If you like, select "Options" to customize your Season Pass recording. Use the arrow keys on your remote to adjust each option as needed. Want to keep all episodes in the series? Select "All episodes" from the "Keep at Most" choices. Want to skip re-runs? Set "New only" as the "Record" option (TiVo Premiere with HD menus) or set "First Run Only" as the "Show Type" (all other TiVo boxes).

Note: If you have Groups turned on in your "My Shows" list, a show's title may appear in more than one folder, even though there is only one recording of the show. For example, you might have an auto-recording WishList search for an actor who also appears in a series, and you have a Season Pass for that series. Each episode of the series will appear in two folders—one for the WishList search and one for the Season Pass recording. If you delete the show in one folder, the title also disappears from the other.

For assistance with managing your season pass recording please see the Managing Your Season Pass Recording article.

To setup a OnePass series recording, please perform the following steps:

Step 1: After selecting a show to watch, select "Create a OnePass" on the information screen.

Step 2: If you like, press the right arrow menu and select "Options" to customize your OnePass recording. Use the arrow keys on your remote to adjust each option as needed. Want to watch a series from the beginning or pick up where you left off? Select "Start From". Want to skip re-runs? Set "New only" as the "Record" option (TiVo Premiere with HD menus) or set "First Run Only" as the "Show Type" (all other TiVo boxes).
