Thats a cinch. As far as seasons of shows, you just set up a season pass by searching for the show by name, and telling it to get a season pass...you can also tell it whether you want it to record first run shows only, or all showings, in which case, it will record that show on any channel, first run or rerun (for example, ER is shown on about 3 channels in my town--NBC, and then 2 other cable channels in syndication. We have it set up to record only new episodes).
As for recording based on an actor, one way is to search using the actor's name & then select anything coming up that he/she is in. Or you can create a "wish list" for that particular actor, and set it up to automatically record anything starring that actor without you having to go back and do a periodic name search.
After a while, TiVo will figure out what sorts of shows/actors you like, and it can record "TiVO Suggestions"...we have turned that feature off on ours, but I know people who use it to find new shows all the time.
TiVO Rocks!
