WinTV-Scheduler & Dual records

WinTV-Scheduler works by using the Windows Task Scheduler to
launch WinTV at the chosen time. WinTV-Scheduler sets up a com-
mand line in Task Scheduler to run WinTV2000, specifying a TV chan-
nel and a length of time to record.

The background recorder (BG recorder) allows you to record your pro-
gram with out the WinTV2000 application present on your desktop.

To set up an event for timed watching or recording, run WinTV2000
Scheduler and click on the Add Program.

Instant Replay you see on TV broadcast sporting events: the
audio/video goes back in time and you repeat what you have previous-
ly seen. Each click of the Replay button causes audio/video to go back
10 seconds. For example, if you want to repeat the audio/video you
saw 10 seconds ago, you would click the Replay button once. If you
want to see the video you saw one minute ago, you would need to
click the Replay button six times.

the Video Position indicator control bar and move it to the left. Once
you let the control bar go, audio/video starts to play (it might take a
few seconds for the WinTV application to start playing).

right to find the desired spot to start replaying audio/video.

While Replaying, your audio/video program continues to be recorded
in the Replay Buffer. Therefore, if you have clicked the Replay button 3
