Transfer Recordings
This feature is disabled for accounts with no or only one TiVo device.
You can transfer recordings from one DVR to another DVR on your account. The transfers are limited to recordings that are marked as copy-freely.
The following recordings cannot be transferred:
-
Recordings currently in progress
-
Recordings of programs marked as copy once or copy no more, such as those from premium networks (HBO, Starz, Showtime, etc.)
Prior to transferring recordings, verify if there is enough space on the target DVR by checking its available space. If the target DVR is full, no recordings will be transferred, even if you complete the steps above. An error message will not appear but the recordings will not be transferred. You can also select Cancel Transfer to discontinue.
-
If you attempt to transfer multiple recordings without adequate storage on the target DVR, a random set will be selected by the system.
-
If the To DVR lacks adequate storage, free-up space by deleting shows prior to transferring recordings.
