programme that starts on one channel, and then to change to another channel fifteen minutes later to watch something else, for example.

You cannot have more than two things scheduled at the same time, regardless of whether they are recordings or pre-selections, and you can’t pre-select two things at the same time —you can only watch one TV programme after all! If you try to schedule too many overlapping events, the PVR will display

a message.

Now, let’s see how to create an entry in the schedule. It’s very easy. Press the button to display the EPG. You can sched- ule from both the single channel and the multi-channel views, so browse around the EPG until you see a programme that you want to record, and move to it with the arrow keys.

When you’ve highlighted the programme —the box contain- ing the name will turn yellow —just press the OK button, and a letter P will appear in the box, like in the picture here.

That’s all you have to do, if you want to watch a programme. If you’d like to record it instead, just press OK again, and the P will turn into a red R. As you browse through the EPG, you’ll see the P or R markers on the programmes you’ve already scheduled.

If you decide that you’d like to remove the programme from your schedule, just move to it again and press OK. If the pro- gramme was pre-selected, the P will turn to an R; if it was already set to record, it will be deleted from the schedule —so two presses of OK will delete a pre-selection.
