Recording TV tips

If you are watching live TV during a scheduled recording time, you can watch only the program being recorded. If you change channels, recording stops.

If you go to another area in Media Center, the TV channel you last selected will be displayed in the inset window at the bottom of the window.

Some channels can be shared by two or more networks, depending on the time of day. The Guide may display only one network’s programming. This may cause recording options to be unavailable. You may need to manually update the Guide before scheduling a recording.
