Can recorded programs be hidnden on the Now Playing list?

Hello,

I've got an RCA DirectTV/Tivo unit and I need to know if it's possible to
hide recorded items on the Now Playing list. Say if I record an "Adult
Movie" and I don't want to kids to be able to find it, is there a way that I
can hide it so that it doesn't appear on the list?

Thanks,

Jeff

You can prevent playback by activating Parental Controls.

I don't believe there is a way to hide recordings.

However, if you 'hack' the unit and install TivoWeb (or TivoWebPlus,
recommended, especailly for DirecTiVos), you can change the name,
description, etc.

Maybe "Charlie Rose interviews Alan Greenspan" or something equally likely
to repluse children :-P (depending on the age, I'm sure you could think of
something appropriate...). Be sure to leave the rating intact*, though,
just in case

editable field, so you can't
