FEATURES
TIP: Adding a second HD DVR to your DIRECTV
®
System increases your recording capacity. Don’t worry
about having to remember on which DVR you recorded
your shows. Whole-Home DVR service keeps things
simple by giving you a single, unified playlist of all your
recordings on any connected TV.
If you’re in a room with an HD DVR, and you’ve authorized
DIRECTV
®
Whole-Home DVR service, the program recording
process is unchanged.
If you’re in a room with an HD Non-DVR Receiver, once you
authorize DIRECTV
®
Whole-Home DVR service, you’ll be able to
request programs to record.
To record the show you’re currently watching, or to record
a highlighted program in the Guide, press the orange REC
(record) button. A message displays onscreen asking you to
select the HD DVR you would like to record on; then select
either Record Once to record the current episode, Record
Series to record the entire series or Do Nothing to cancel
your request.
NOTE: Non-DVR Receivers do not recognize the Remote
Control shortcut commands Record Series (press REC
button two times) or Cancel Recording (press REC
three times).
You can also schedule a recording from a program’s Info
screen. To record the program you’re currently watching, or
to record a highlighted program in the Guide, press the INFO
button and select Record Once or Record Series.
If your recording (requested from a Non-DVR Receiver)
conflicts with other recordings already scheduled on the
target DVR, a message will display stating that your program
cannot be recorded.
