My tivo is really great...but for the last two weeks it has been recording Jeopardy. With no prompting from me. I come home from work and check out stuff and it is there. I keep deleting it and can't get it to stop. Its not on the 'to do list' or the 'tivo suggestions' list and I don't get how to tell tivo - no thanks! to jeopary!.

Any suggestions?

1. Have you been playing with the Guru Guides? I don't know if any of the guides includes Jeopardy.

2. Are you sure it's not a Tivo Suggestion? If you turn Suggestions off, would it still record?

turn off the Random recording option.

No such option exists because the feature doesn't exist.

Under settings > recording there's an option to Auto-record TiVo suggestions. Turn that off. At least it's suggesting you like such high minded shows like jeopardy, mine suggested Bay Watch! (okay, I made that last part up, I swear).

Also check you havent got an autorecord wishlist set up that is finding this show. It may be that there is a coincidence on a keyword or something.

Maybe they have a WL for Trebek, Alex? ;)

Also, if you don't want to turn off the tivo suggestions, or that doesn't work, u can press the red thumbs down button, and tivo will get the message that you don't like it
