Formatting a request e-mail
Recognized tags
When you send an ADD, DELETE, GET, or HELP request
e-mail to the TV, the TV will recognize only the tags listed
below. These tags (and their accompanying data) must be
listed in the body of the request e-mail in the following order:
• ID [your ID*]
(not required if you set the “ID Required” field to Off)
• COMMAND ADD
(or COMMAND DELETE or COMMAND GET or
COMMAND HELP)
• INPUT [name of input to record]
• CHANNEL [channel number of recording or reminder]
• DATE [date of recording or reminder]
• START TIME [start time of recording or reminder]
• DURATION [length of recording or reminder]
• TYPE RECORD
(or TYPE REMIND)
Tag and data formats
The data for each tag can be formatted in various ways, as
described in the following table:
* The ID is case sensitive. The ID tag is required only if you created
an ID in the “ID” field and set the “ID Required” field to On. If you
set the “ID Required” field to Off, you do not need to include the ID
tag line in your request e-mail. See “Description of fields in the
E-mail Scheduling Setup window” (- page 77).
**“Set-top box” and “STB” refer to a satellite set-top box.
Sample request e-mails
• The examples shown below are for illustration purposes
only.
• Styles applied to the sample e-mail text (such as bold, italic,
and underline) are for illustration purposes only. You do not
need to style the text in your request e-mails.
• The only text in a request e-mail that is case sensitive is the
ID. All other text is not case sensitive.
ADD request e-mail
The ADD request allows you to schedule a new recording or
reminder.
The required tags for an ADD request e-mail are (in this
order):
• ID [your ID*]
(not required if you set the “ID Required” field to Off)
• COMMAND ADD
• INPUT [name of input]
• CHANNEL [channel number of recording or reminder]
• DATE [date of recording or reminder]
• START TIME [start time of recording or reminder]
• DURATION [length of recording or reminder]
• TYPE RECORD ...or... TYPE REMIND
GET request e-mail
When you send a GET request e-mail to the TV, you will
receive a reply e-mail that lists all currently scheduled
recordings and/or reminders.
The only required tag and data for a GET request e-mail is
GET.
