A few tips to keep in mind.
• Manage your recordings on the go: Forgot to set up recordings at home? View, set
and update your list of recordings at optimum.net/dvr or use the Optimum App on
the go. Don’t have the app? Download it at optimum.net/app
• Personalize your experience: To set up your default preferences, press DVR on
your remote, highlight “Preferences” on the right-hand menu and press SEL. A list
of options will appear that can be customized and set as defaults for your series or
individual programs.
• Recording episodes: With “Record”, you can simply choose “This episode only”
or “Series”. When you select “Series”, you’ll be asked how many episodes to save.
It’s also easy for you to choose which types of episodes to record. This preference is
currently set to “All new and repeat episodes”.
• Rewind live TV: You can rewind live television for up to 60 minutes. Use the
playback controls on the remote to pause, rewind and fast forward*
.
• Storage space: We know there are a ton of great programs to watch. Your storage
space (or “Keep”) is set to “14 days” so any recordings are deleted after that time to
make room for new ones. But you can adjust the number of days and delete shows
anytime you want.
• Stop time: What if your show runs over? The “Stop” time is set to “On time” and is
matched to the program guide’s schedule. You can always adjust the time to your
preference, so you’ll never miss the end of your show.
• Multi-Room DVR on a single-room DVR cable box: If you have a single-room
DVR cable box, pressing DVR on your remote only brings up recordings stored on
that specific cable box and not those from your Multi-Room DVR. Tune to Channel
1001 instead to access your Multi-Room DVR recordings. You’ll know you have a
single-room DVR if you have a silver Scientific Atlanta cable box.
