VIDEO - Automated Yahoo!® TV Recording Scheduler
For those who have a My Yahoo!® account and use the calendar feature,
the AV400 can read the TV programs scheduled into your personal
calendar and thus make scheduled recordings this way. You can sign up
for an account and learn how to use the My Yahoo!® TV and calendar
functions at the Yahoo!® Website (www.yahoo.com).
You must do the following:
1. Connect your AV400 to your computer.
2. Go to your personal Yahoo!® calendar which has your TV programs
scheduled.
3. Choose the Week view – starting wi th the current day as the
beginning of the week.
4. Click on Printable View to show a cleaner printable version.
5. From your browser menu click on File > Save As… to save the file.
6. Do not change the File Name, but do change the Save as Type to
Web page, html only. Now save the file to the folder System on
your AV400.
7. Once you disconnect the AV400 from your computer, the AV400 will
automatically update its scheduler with the newly saved TV programs
from your My Yahoo!® calendar. If the AV400 encounters a television
station name that it does not know the channel number for (was
never set), it will indicate so, and direct you to go to the scheduler to
manually assign a channel to the station name.
Notes:
• If the TV programs from your personal calendar do not seem to be
correctly copied to the AV400 scheduler, go to the Archos web site to
make sure that have the very latest version of the AV400 firmware.
Update your firmware (Operating System) as explained in the chapter
“Updating the AV400 firmware”.
• If you change your Yahoo!® personal calendar by deleting some TV
programs and adding new ones, only the new programs will be added
to the AV400 scheduler when you save the html file to the AV400. If
you want to delete scheduled items, you must do this in the AV400
scheduler itself.
• Missed recordings (because you did not have the AV400 in the TV
Cradle connected to your Television at the record time) will be deleted
from the scheduler.
