Record a Series

Your Dual Tuner DVR lets you record multiple episodes of a program according to your preferences. You can set the DVR to record only new (first run) episodes, first run episodes and repeats or all episodes.

When you set a recording from a Series Program Information screen, you’ll have an additional icon on the preceding Recordings Overlay. Choose this Create a Series Recording Icon to specify your series recording options.

Select the episode type to record, such as first run only, first run and repeats or all episodes.

Specify how many recording to save.

Specify how long to save the recording – until you erase it or until space is needed.

To access advanced series setup features like add minutes to the

start and end times and specify which channels to record, select

the SetupRecord a Series Icon to review all options.

Your series recordings’ will appear in your My Recordings list with the show title as its label. Multiple recordings of the same show will have the same label and will be listed beginning with the most recent recordings first as default. To change your view, use the (arrow left/right) buttons on your remote to View by Date, View by Channel or View by Title.

Managing Scheduling Conflicts

If you schedule more than two recordings for the same time, you will see a Scheduling Conflict screen that allows you to choose between a previously set recording and the new recording that is conflicting. Individual recordings always take priority over series recordings when there are scheduling conflicts.

In case of a scheduling conflict between two series programs, additional icons will appear at the bottom of the Scheduling Conflict screen to help you determine which program to record.

Managing Scheduling Conflicts - Return to the previous screen.

Manual background - Record highlighted series as shown above.

Manual background - Show conflicts when the new series is a high priority.

Manual background - Show conflicts when the new series is a low priority. Manual background - Don’t record this series.

To give your new recording the highest scheduling priority and to capture the most number of episodes for your new recording, select High. The screen will show you how many episodes of the new series will be recorded and which episodes of the old series will not be recorded because of the conflict.

To move the new series back to the bottom of the scheduling priority list, select Low and the screen will refresh and give you revised results.

Select the Record Manual background Icon to confirm your new settings.

You may also modify the priority assigned to a series using the Series Priority List. (See next section)
