Recording TV
The Media Center allows you to record TV programs for later
viewing. You can record the show you are watching, or you
can record another or future show or series from the Guide,
the Search, or the Settings window in My TV.
To record a TV show you are currently watching, just press
the Record button on the remote control once. The Record
icon (a red dot) appears in the Guide next to the program
being recorded or to be recorded at a later time.
If a show is currently being recorded, the Record icon also
appears in the Taskbar on the desktop. If you move your
mouse over the icon, the Media Center displays which show
is currently being recorded. You can right-click the icon to
open Media Center and stop recording.
Media Center automatically records until the show is
scheduled to be over as listed in the TV Guide. To make sure
your show is being recorded, you can select TV Guide from
the My TV screen. The Record icon should appear next to the
show in the TV Guide while you are recording. The Record
icon disappears when the recording is complete.
