Note The Recorder can connect to a network by using broadband and
download Guide listings by using a dial-up connection, at the same
time. For more information, see 1. Set up Connection in Set up the
Recorder.
The First Time You Setup The Recorder
After you complete setting up the Recorder and begin to watch TV, the
Recorder checks to see if there is an update to the Recorder software.
If there is a newer version of the software, the Recorder automatically
downloads the updated software and then the current Program Guide.
Future Program Guide Updates
The Recorder attempts to download Program Guide updates daily,
during early morning hours.
Important
· When updating the Program Guide, the updated Guide information
is downloaded and then merged into the Guide. The download can
take 15 minutes or longer depending on your network connection
and network conditions. The process of merging the rst 12 hours
of Guide listings can take 30 minutes or longer. During the rst
download of the Program Guide listings, the Guide will not contain
information immediately. The complete Guide update may take up to
3 hours.
· You can check the status of the current Program Guide update or
the last time the Guide successfully updated by selecting Start >
Settings > Guide Settings > Get Latest Guide Listings.
· You can download the latest Program Guide by selecting
Start > Settings > Guide Settings > Get Latest Guide Listings and
select Download Now.
· When the Program Guide is being updated over a dial-up
connection, you can stop the download to make a phone call. If you
pick up your phone you will hear the the Recorder receiving data.
Hang up the phone, and then pick the phone up again. This will stop
the download and disconnect the Recorder. After you make your
phone call, the Recorder will automatically reconnect at a later time
and continue the download.
