Tivo deleted my season pass shows!

[mikerr]

Just a heads up:

I wasn't keeping up with watching all the stuff tivo records, and I had a season pass setup to keep the last 5 episodes
(there were already 5 episodes recorded)

So I changed the setting to only keep the last 2, then go back to now showing, and find TIVO DELETED THE EXISTING RECORDINGS - except for the 2 most recent.

I see that this may be logical, but I didn't expect the setting to apply to existing stuff, only future recordings.

Moral: have that epic back-to-back watching session to catch up *before* altering season passes.

While I`m moaning, pressing record when you're watching 30 mins behind the live buffer deletes your show if the next programme has started...

I can't believe I hadn't come accross that in 5 years of ownership.. !

pressing record when you're watching 30 mins behind the live buffer deletes your show if the next programme has started...This one has caught me out a couple of times.

You'd think Tivo would know what you're watching... :p

Use TiVoWeb to undelete them ?

Same deal if you want to change channel to start buffering some other channel. Your only option is to change the channel using the STB remote (e.g. Sky/Freeview/Video) so that TiVo doesn't know it changed.

This should be a configurable option IMHO.

Good to know on the "keep X episodes", I wouldn't have expected that immediate deletion either. Absolutely LOVE being able to undelete with TiVoWeb though.
