Welcome to the Hard Disk Recorder

Congratulations on your purchase of the Hard Disk Recorder. Once you’ve experienced the exciting new world of personal television right in your very own home, you’ll never want to watch plain old television again. Read on and see what the Hard Disk Recorder can do. No videotape. No hassles. No compromises. If this sounds like the television experience you’ve always dreamed of … it is!

•The Hard Disk Recorder gives you the ability to easily find and automatically record your favorite television shows, then watch them whenever you want.

On your schedule … not somebody else’s.

You will never miss your favorite TV shows again!

•Create personal Replay Channels based on your favorite television shows or themes—like actors, directors,

sports teams or hobbies. These channels will automatically record each new episode of your favorite shows, or constantly search for and record shows that match your interests.

•Check out the exciting television shows in ReplayZones™

—all of your favorites organized by topic, and all in one easy-to-find area.

•You have the power to control live television. You can pause, rewind, play in slow motion, see an instant replay and more without missing a single scene.

•Instantly jump over undesired recorded television scenes with QuickSkip™.

•Unsure of what channel or time a show is on? Looking for a specific show title, actor, director, topic? Use Find Shows—a real-time, keyword search function.
