Moving and Season Passes
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: TiVoSkot

I'm making the move to new digs next week with a different cable lineup- am I going to have to re-program my season passes (since they are channel specific), or will the magic of TiVo simply do it for me, as in "Simpsons are on FOX, which was Channel 11, now FOX is Channel 15"?

I'd like to get up and TiVo'ing before anything else is unpacked. Anyone gone through this situation before? Any advise is greatly appreciated.

"It Depends"

If it's the same FOX station ("KFOX" or whatever) I think TiVo will automatically take care of it for you. When I moved from CA to VA, TiVo wasn't able to handle the change in stations for the Season Passes, so I had to recreate.

I just moved last weekend to a new city with a different cable co. (No more AT&T!! Woohoo! Astound rocks) and when I installed the TiVo i reran guided setup and all my season passes stayed intact. As long as you have the same CHANNELS available moving makes no difference, I suspect though if you move into a totally new market with different stations (or different feeds of cable channels) then your season passes would not work.

For example I live in the San Fransico bay area and the fox station here is KTVU and I have some season passes set on that channel (Simpsons anyone?) when I moved I still have access to KTVU so no problems there, but if I moved to Sacramento which has it's own fox station I would have to re-configure the passes.

Hmmmm, so in other words- when I move from Santa Monica to Westwood- no reconfig, but when I move from Westwood to Sacto- definate reconfig. bummer...

I suppose on the plus side, when I move to Sacto, I'll get G4TV.

...and that would be a GREAT thing if they provided guide data. They currently only make their schedule a week or two in advance as far as what episode is shown when so all the episode data is the same generic description. In other words, put G4TV shows at the bottom of your Season Pass list unless you want to record 5-6 of the same shows each day.
