Recording TV Programs
With a TDS TV Connected-Home DVR, you can watch TV when it’s convenient for you! Schedule your
favorite shows and movies to record then replay them whenever you want. And, keep them as long
as you want. You can record a single program or an entire series of episodes. It’s easy to do and
completely up to you. Here’s how to…
RECORD A PROGRAM…
…While You Are Watching It
Press the
RECORD
button on your remote control once while you are tuned to the program you want to
record. A “Recording” message will flash on screen and the red RECORD light on your DVR lights up.
Recording begins immediately and stops at the end of the program. Press the
RECORD
button twice
and all the series will record (if applicable).
NOTE:
Do not disconnect your set-top box or DVR from its power source immediately after recording. If
you do, there is a slight possibility your recording may be lost. So, keep your set-top box plugged in for
at least an hour after recording something. In fact, TDS recommends keeping your set-top box or DVR
plugged in to a power source at all times.
When you are recording a program, you can watch that program, another previously recorded
program, or you can tune to a different channel. However, you may encounter a problem if you are
using more streams than are available. When this happens, an on-screen message will appear
notifying you of the conflict and asking how you want to resolve it. For more information, see the
Troubleshooting section of this User Guide.
…Manually Through the Browse Panel
From the Browse Panel, you can record a program that’s currently playing or schedule a future recording.

A red dot appears next to the program’s name in the Browse Panel if a single episode is to record.
Three red dots will appear if you’ve scheduled the series to record. If the program is currently playing,
recording begins immediately.
…Using the Program Guide

future recording.
