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 71).
**“sat-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. The text
you use in your request e-mails does not need to be styled.
• 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 [This tag is not required if the “ID Required” field is set
to Off]
• COMMAND ADD
• INPUT
• CHANNEL
• DATE
• START TIME
• DURATION
• TYPE
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.
