Watching and Recording TV Programs

or rewind your favorite TV shows. You can watch recorded TV shows while recording another show. Use the i (More information) button on the remote control to display TV show information.

■Recorded TV: View a list of recorded programs by date or title, view a list of programs scheduled to be recorded, play a recorded program, find out why a program wasn’t recorded, or add a TV recording manually.

■Search: Quickly find a TV program or a series to watch or record by entering a descriptive word, program title, or program category.

■Guide: (Not available in all countries/ regions.) Scroll through the Television Program Guide (Internet service required) to find programs to watch and record. You can record specific TV shows or a whole series to your hard disk drive or an HP Personal Media Drive.
