First: Tony means that, when you've selected a program and are looking at its description in the Tivo menu (so that you're seeing who stars in it and a description of what happens in it), some Tivo remotes have an "Info" button on them that, when pressed, give you more info on the program. An example of when I use this: lately my Tivo has decided that it's going to record Smallville and Supernatural
every week, instead of just new episodes. I can press this button, scroll down, and see the original air date of the episode, and delete it if it's an old one.
Second: You have a wishlist of just "movies?" Do you have five tuners in yours or something?
My TiVo is one of the very first Series I units, and the remote has no such button, so I guess I'm out of luck.
Yes, I do have a "Movies" wish list, but it is 'way down on the priority list, so relatively few get recorded as higher-priority season passes and wish lists pre-empt most of them. Plus, I do not have cable or satellite or anything -- all I get is what comes through the antenna on my roof: ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and PBS. So, one tuner suffices pretty well! On the rare occasions that my To-Do list shows a program that I want as being "Will Not Record", I fire up the VCR and record it on tape. This only happens maybe once every couple of months.
