Strange shows scheduled?

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?)

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!

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.
