6.3.3 Starting TAPs automatically
You may find that there are some TAPs that you particularly
like using, and you’d like to start them each time you turn
your PVR on. That’s very easy to do; after you’ve first run

it —most TAPs provide an option to stop them running, just
like choosing Exit in a computer program—and then move
it from the Auto Start folder back to the main ProgramFiles
folder.

Although we can’t provide advice for individual TAPs, there
are some general tips that you may find useful if you have

until you see the screen ratio start to change. Then, press 0
to return the screen to your preferred settings. Your PVR will
now be running without any TAPs loaded.
TAPs are able to tell whether or not the PVRis playing a record-
