4If you recorded a pay per view program, but did not watch it, the time which you are allowed to purchase may have expired. To avoid in the future, check your pay per view recordings in the MyVOD™ screen for expiration dates.

I’ve set up an episodic recording, but now I get a bunch of reruns and multiple copies of the same program.

4When you schedule an episodic recording, you can set an option for program type: First Run, Repeats or Both. If you only want to record a program the first time it is shown, and not repeated showings, make sure you select the First Run option. This is the default for one-touch recording, so if you want to record every occurrence of a program, you need to change it using the program’s Info screen. Access the program’s Info screen (by pressing the INFO key when the program is highlighted in any list or the Guide), then select the Record menu item and change the options as needed.

When I am watching a recorded program, and the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR starts to record another program, my image quality deteriorates.

4Press PAUSE, then PLAY.

4Press EXIT to return to live TV, then press LIST. SELECT the program you were watching from the MyVOD™ screen and press PLAY. (You may have to fast forward back to the point where you were.)
