5E. DUAL RECORDINGS
With two tuners, your HDPVR can record up to two programs at once. If you are watching TV and
dual scheduled recordings are about to begin, you will see a “warning sign” (as
pictured at left) appear in the top right corner of the screen. Press
ENTER
on the
remote control to
view the warning
, or any other key to remove it.
If you press
ENTER
, you will be able to allow or deny one of the recordings from taking place. If
you select “Allow”, the receiver will tune away to the specified program when it begins in order
to record it. If you select “Deny”, you will be asked to confirm that you are stopping the
recording from occurring.
You can always use the PVR Upcoming menu to cancel or reschedule an upcoming recording to
ensure you have a tuner free for Live TV.
DUAL RECORDINGS IN PROGRESS
If you attempt to change channels while two programs are currently being recorded, you will
receive a
warning message
explaining that this is not possible. You can select “Cancel” to
continue watching the current program, or select “
PVR List
”, which will allow you to:
•
Watch a previously recorded program
•
Watch either of the in-progress recordings from the beginning
•
Stop either recording to free up a tuner to watch Live TV.
When one of the recordings finishes, you will be able to change channels again.
5F. MANUAL TIMERS
A
manual timer
can be created by selecting “Manual Timers” from the Menu Bar. Manual
Timers record the specified channel for the specified duration, but do not capture any program
information such as title, description, or parental rating. If Parental Controls are “enabled”, all
manual timers will be locked and require the password to view or edit.
If you would like to record a program which may run long, such a live sporting event, it is
recommended to use the “End Late” setting in PVR Options for the desired program.
