RECORDING A PROGRAM—DVR
DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder. A DVR allow you to record programs without the need for videotapes. DVRs
are sometimes referred to as PVRs (personal video recorders), as on your screen guide. Your set top box can record
many hours of programming, with the capability to stop, rewind, fast forward or pause, just as if you were using your
DVD or VCR remote.
If you are recording a live program, you can pause or rewind. Your set top box will continue to record while paused
and then pick back up where you left off.
Record a LIVE program:
While watching a program, press the RECORD button on your remote. Your set top box will immediately begin
recording and the Info Bar will have a red record icon on the right.
You can also start a quick record in the guide. Press GUIDE, highlight a program you want to record using the arrow
buttons and press RECORD. If the program is currently on, recording will begin immediately and you will
automatically be taken to that channel.
You can also just press PAUSE if you need to step away for a bit. This will automatically begin recording for you.
However, if you had not previously hit RECORD you cannot use the REWIND feature.
