USING RECORD LINK
Your receiver has a timer feature called Record Link. This feature sends data (audio,
video, and other commands) to an external recording device, or ERD, that you can
connect to the receiver’s RCA-type outputs.
RECORDING WHILE WATCHING DIFFERENT PROGRAMS
This section describes the three basic ways to record a program while watching different
programs at the same time.
• Recording in Single Mode (in the following section).
• Recording Events with Record Plus (on page 58).
• Recording Events without Record Plus (on page 59).
Recording in Single Mode
In Single Mode, you can set up the satellite receiver to record two programs while
watching one you’ve already recorded.
