Q u e s t i o n s A b o u t P i c k P r o g r a m s t o R e c o r d
What happens if a sports event I have scheduled to record goes into overtime?
• The DVR service cannot predict whether a sporting event might go into overtime, but
we provide a feature that lets you add from one extra minute to three hours at the end
of a recording. The Overtime Scheduler
™
has two options: Start Recording and Stop
Recording. Both are available on the Recording Options screen. You can even use the
Overtime Scheduler to change the scheduled end of a recording while the program is
still being recorded. You can use the Overtime Scheduler with any kind of program,
not just sports. For more information, see page 62.
Can I schedule to record a program that will not be aired for months?
• You can create a WishList to set up recordings for programs that are not yet listed in
the guide. For example, create a keyword WishList that uses the program’s title as the
keyword. See page 73.
Can I save a program from the Now Playing List to my VCR?
• Yes. You can use the “Save to VCR” function. See page 66 for more information.
Can I copy or archive programs to a ZIP drive or any other computer storage media?
• No, the DVR does not copy or archive recordings to any device other than a VCR.
How do I go back to the beginning of a recording I’m watching?
• Press the ADVANCE button (
) on the remote to go to the end of a recording you’re
watching. Press it again to go to the beginning.
