Record by channel and time
Recording by channel and time (Manual record), allows you to schedule a TV recording with a specific start time and end time. If you do
not have Guide information, then you can still schedule recordings by using Manual record. When you schedule the Manual record you
have the option of naming it. If you do not name the recording, then Media C enter names it automatically with the prefix of "Manual" in
the title so you can locate it in Recorded TV.
