Show only available movies I don't have to pay for?

In the OnePass settings, there's a 'Rent or Buy' that you can set to Don't Include. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it should only show those that are available for free.

That said, I don't know if it tracks that you have Netflix, Amazon Prime, ... and it may show up if it's free for any of the subscriptions whether or not you subscribe to it.

I know I had some showing up for Netflix after I let my Netflix account lapse.

 

TiVo should add "C" button filtering to the "Streaming Movies" folder. Free and All would be the toggles.

I believe you mean the 'My Shows' list - It used to be the 'Now Playing List'

That said, that is exactly what I'm referring to. In order for the streaming shows to show up in the 'My Shows' list, you need to have a OnePass setup for it, with streaming videos or recordings and streaming video option selected in the OnePass settings. Two items below that is the Rent or Buy option, which can be set to include or don't include.

You can press the 'C' button while in the 'My Shows' list that you're interested in and cycle through to get to 'View (My Episodes)' which will show recordings and streaming episodes that you haven't marked as deleted and are available by one of the services for free. 'Recordings' will only show recorded shows, and 'view (all episodes)' will show all episodes even if they are not available for streaming at all at that time - the streaming icon will be grey'd out and shows you've marked as watch won't have a streaming or recording icon beside it.

 

Not true. I believe what the original poster is doing is manually adding the shows from search. In that case, there is no filter in My Shows to show only free shows.

 

Onepass does not know what you have or have not purchased from Vudu unfortunately. The remove rent or buy options impacts all content from Vudu and all but Prime content from Amazon IIRC

 

Onepass DOES know what programs are available for free to the user on Xfinity On Demand, but, unfortunately, the remove rent or buy option still displays XOD programs that are pay-only.

 

It is all limited to the metadata that TiVo can collect form the content provider. I also tend to believe that TiVo only collects and uses global information - so your personal purchases would not be included.

 

I think what the op is asking is to see stuff that is free AND stuff he has bought and "free only" removed the stuff he had bought along with unbought.

 

Ok, but that's not what he's saying. He Stated the first time 'from the Now Playing List' and again when discussing the OnePass that he wanted it from the 'Now Playing List' which is the old term used for the 'My Shows'

You also seem to be implying there is the ability to search within 'My Shows' which I'm not aware of.

That said, when in search (TiVo Central -> Find TV, Movies, & Videos) you can hit the 'C' button to cycle through showing 'Free' vs 'All' vs 'Watch Now'

 

You can add streaming movies to My Shows without adding a OnePass.

 

Ok, I could be ignorant in this matter. How do you add streaming movies to the 'My Shows' list w/o adding a OnePass?

 

You can select it when doing explore this show. If you add it and it is available, it shows under movies in my shows. If it is not available, it won't but it will appear when it is available.

 

Ok, I'm confused here. If it's in the 'My Shows' list then it's already there. It sounds like this is doing it from the Find TV, Movies & Shows under TiVo central and then adding it to 'My Shows'. Or is there something else I'm missing here.

EDIT: Ok, I think I'm slow to pick up on it. He's adding shows to the 'My Show' List whether or not he can get the for free, or has purchased them. But only wants them to show up when they are either free or can purchase them.

 

This is actually easy: If you really want to watch the movie, then it is one you have to pay for .
