When I became an early adopter, many of the forums especially TiVo Community Forum (primarily TiVo S1 owners) said "record everything" I was having none of it I just wanted to watch what I wanted when I wanted. However after many weeks of having my TiVo automatically change channel on me for suggestions I started to record everything I wanted to watch even if I was watching the live broadcast. The upshot of this learnt technique is that I personally have never seen this mysterious number.

It is a rather silly security measure (Reported on many forums and probably even this forum on another thread) that is so easily defeated I can't understand the point of it, just watch everything from My Shows (in other words record) and you'll never see the number.
