Watching and Recording TV with WinDVR

Scheduling Recording

You can program WinDVR to record a TV program or remind you of an upcoming program. To schedule recording:

1Open the TV Panel. (See page 25 for instructions.)

2Click Schedule.

The Schedule window appears.

3Click Create.

A wizard opens and helps you create a schedule.

Follow the wizard to schedule a recording or a reminder. You can create a single-use schedule, or you can set up recurring recording/reminders. A conflict message appears if you try to schedule two programs for the same date and time.

When you’re finished, icons in the Task ID column of the Schedule window show whether tasks are scheduled recordings or program reminders.

Note: If you have a digital cable or satellite receiver, see Scheduling Recording with a Set-top Box on page 31 for important recording information.

4Make sure your computer is powered on at the time the recording is scheduled. If you have a digital cable or satellite receiver, also leave your set-top box powered on. You do not need to open WinDVR—it will open automatically at the scheduled time.
