Question

Can a tivo record shows when it is on standby.?

Answer 1

The stand by mode funtion is that the rcvr records even when the tv is not on or doesn't have any programming on the screen. Means the Tivo is on recording and updating guide but is not completly OFF.

Of course it'll record this is funtion of this devices. Just like a computer you pu or computer on stand by and keep downloading info from the internet.

So it records on the stand by!!! Don't spend more electricity!!

luck!

Answer 2

No, the unit must be left in non standby mode.

Answer 3

Scarlett is right. I leave my TiVo in Standby all the time. It will always record any shows you have scheduled. It just doesn't maintain the 30 minute (or is it 60?) minute buffer of what's on the currently set channel, to save energy. It might even spin the hard disk down, I'm not sure.

Answer 4

Nope....................
