Recording programs manually without using the guide

You do not need to use the Television Program Guide to record TV. You can record a TV program by pressing the Record button on the remote control while watching live TV, or you can select a specific date, channel, and recording time period in Windows Media Center.

For some programs, you might want to begin recording before the scheduled beginning and after the scheduled ending of the program.

NOTE: Recorded TV programs that have been copied to a DVD can be played on the computer and on some DVD players.

Recorded TV programs can be backed up as part of a full system backup and restored to the same HP computers, but not to other computers.
