Shows I didn't schedule to record are showing up on "Now Playing" in Tivo
Central.

I've only had the Tivo hooked up a few days.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks!

It's called a TiVo "Suggestion". TiVo tries to learn what you like,
based on using the THUMBS keys and what you schedule to record. If
you like the feature, but it's not showing you stuff you like, every
week or so for a while go to "Pick Programs To Record | Tivo
Suggestions" and give a thumbs up or down to the shows you see
there.

You can turn suggestions off if you like. They get deleted before
anything you wanted recorded and some people use them as an indicator
of how full their disk is.

You will be able to be sure of this by the icon these shows
display. It's a little black circle with TiVo inside it. To more
easily keep these programs from cluttering the list, in
now-playing, follow the instructions at the bottom and turn on
grouping. All suggestions will then be listed in a folder named
'TiVo Suggestions'

Also, it might be what was happening to me. I picked up my S2
over ebay and it still had the previous owner's season passes and
such programmed in. Go through the setup menu's and delete all
the thumb stuff.
