You can set up your viewing or recording schedule ahead of time, so that you will be automatically notified of the shows you want to see, or using the VCR Controller, automatically record future programs to your VCR. This is called ‘tagging’. On the Guide, tagged programs either have a check mark or a loop to the right of the program title

When a program has been tagged for future viewing or recording, the notification banner displays 3 minutes before the program starts. For programs tagged for viewing, press OK to tune to the channel. For programs tagged for recording, the receiver will automatically tune to the channel.

You can still purchase future PPV programs after 25, but you will not receive a tag notice.

To tag a non-PPV program:

1.Highlight a future program to tag and press OK. In the Tag for Notification dialog, choose whether you want to tag this program once, daily, weekly, or Monday- Friday. Remember, you are actually tagging the time slot, so if the program moves to a different time slot, you will want to retag it.

2.Press OK on the Tag for Notification dialog.

If the program is in the same time slot as another tagged program, the system. will prompt you that a conflict exists.
