RECORDING OPTIONS
When you set up a timer, you can choose from the following options:
• Stop Recording Manually—The receiver will record until you press STOP.
• Extend End Time—You can extend the stop time for the recording. This option is
useful for programs that might run overtime, like sporting events or awards shows.
• Create a Recurring Timer—You can set up a timer like the one described in Setting
Up an Automatic Timer on page 66.
• Record the Entire Event—The receiver stops recording at the end of the event. This
selection is available only if the receiver was turned on and tuned to the channel since
the beginning of the program.
Note: If you tune to a program after it has begun, then you can record only the part of the
program after you tuned to it.
GROUPING AND SORTING RECORDED PROGRAMS
1 Press DVR two times (or press DVR and select My Recordings).
2 Choose a group or sort option to help you quickly find the program you want to watch:
• To group programs into folders, select Group, then select a Group Option.
• To sort programs by name, date, or other categories, select Sort, then a Sort Option.
The My Recordings list re-arranges itself to match your sorting or grouping selection.
TIPS
• If you have a program paused, press PLAY to watch the program. Also, press PLAY to
switch from forward or reverse to play.
• Press VIEW LIVE TV to catch up with the program as it’s showing now.
• If you would like to store additional programs, you can connect your own compatible
USB 2.0 hard drive and subscribe to the feature. See External Hard Drive on page 91
for more information.
QUESTIONS
• How can I fast forward through commercials? If you’re watching a pre-recorded
program or if you’ve delayed a live program, press SKIP FWD or FWD on your remote
control. However, you cannot skip ahead while watching live TV.
