To cancel a scheduled recording: In the To Do List, highlight the program and press the CLEAR button.

What happens if a sports event I have scheduled to record goes into overtime?

The DVR service cannot predict whether a sporting event might go into overtime. However, it does provide a feature that lets you add from one extra minute to three hours at the end of a recording. The Overtime Scheduler has two options: Start Recording and Stop Recording. Both are available on the Recording Options screen. You can even use the Overtime Scheduler to change the scheduled end of a recording while the program is still being recorded. You can use the Overtime Scheduler with any kind of program, not just sports. For more information, see page 52.

Can I schedule to record a program that will not be aired for months?

You can create a WishList to set up recordings for programs that are not yet listed in the guide. For example, create a keyword WishList that uses the program’s title as the keyword. See page 64.

Can I save a program from the Now Playing List to my VCR or DVD recorder?

Yes. You can use the “Save to VCR” function. See page 81 for more information.

Can I copy or archive programs to a ZIP drive or any other computer storage media?

No. You can only connect the HD DVR to standard A/V devices such as a VCR or DVD recorder.
