Recording programs manually with or without a Guide

You do not need 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 Media Center.

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

Recorded TV programs that have been copied to a DVD can be played on your HP Digital Entertainment Center 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 Digital Entertainment Center, but not to other PCs.
