TiVo Central Online adds Now Playing and To Do lists

Series 3 and HD TiVo owners have a little bit of newness waiting for them at the TiVo Central Online website in the form of Now Playing and To Do lists for their bleeping and blooping DVRs. After playing around with the new features, we have to admit that while they come in handy for managing TiVo scheduling, but we're hoping that the improvements don't stop there. For example, we keep clicking on entries in the Now Playing list, expecting to get a placeshifted stream (or at least a "Keep until/Delete now" dialog; but the video remains safely locked away on our TiVo. While we're wishing, who do we talk to about getting a guide view that shows only our favorite channels?

Setting Guide to show only your desired channels:

Tivo Central
>Messages & Setting
>>Settings
>>>Channels
>>>>Channel List
scroll through the channel list and use "SELECT" to check and un-check channels until only your favorite channels are checked.

I was hoping there was some way to tell how much recording space is left!
(on the TiVo HDD or My Extender external drive)

I have Suggestions set to automatically record, so that I can gauge how much space I have left, based on the number of suggested recordings. It does not hurt anything to do this, since these recordings will always be deleted first to make room for Season Passes and will never take priority when recording.

And sometimes they even pick up something I like. :)

Hey, Gus, I do the exact same thing. And I have even found a few I like. I also use it to Thumbs Up a bunch of kid shows, then put them in KidZone. That way they aren't crowding up my Now Playing list and the kids can get 'em when they want 'em.
