Finding Programs to Record

Find shows to record. The DVR service allows you to quickly set up recordings for the shows you already know you love. It also helps you search for fun, exciting new programs that match your interests, hobbies, favorite stars and genres. Which of the following statements fits your mood today?

I already know what I want to record ...	Describes Search by Title and
(page 69)	Record by Time or Channel.

Set up recordings. After finding a program, it’s easy to schedule a recording. You can schedule one recording or choose one of these options to set up a repeating recording:

•Season Pass recordings record every episode of a program on a specified channel (see page 59).

•An auto-recording WishList records every program a WishList finds (see page 78).

•A manual recording records a chosen time and channel and can be set to repeat once each week, every day, or just on weekdays or weekends (see page 72).

Programs you have scheduled to be recorded appear in the To Do List (see page 65). To watch recorded programs, select them in the Now Playing List (see page 58).
