4. HDDSR 605: SMART REMINDER TECHNOLOGY

The same technology used on the Shaw Direct HDPVR to automatically record and manage all your favourite programs is also available on the HDDSR to “remind” you whenever certain programs are airing. When a program you’ve set a reminder for is about to start, you’ll see a “warning sign” in the top right corner of the screen. Just press ENTER and you’ll see a list of all upcoming “reminded” programs, all in one convenient menu!

Reminders are always set from the Program Options menu. As described earlier, you can access this menu from the Guide, Search Results, Info Pages, or Upcoming Air Dates screen.

Reminders always apply to the currently selected channel only. You can set multiple reminders for the same program to cover more channels if needed.

From within the Program Options menu, the following selections will set a Reminder:

SET A REMINDER FOR NEW EPISODES: Each time a first-runepisode of the selected program airs on the selected channel, you will receive a reminder. This is a recurring reminder.

SET A REMINDER FOR ALL EPISODES: Each time any episode of the selected program airs on the selected channel, you will receive a reminder. This is a recurring reminder.

SET A REMINDER FOR THIS PROGRAM: When this specific episode or movie airs, you will receive a reminder. To set a reminder for a future airing of the program or movie, use the “View upcoming air dates” option to select the episode or airing you wish to set a reminder for. This is a one-time reminder.

You can set as many overlapping reminders as you want. “Reminded” programs are indicated with a black bell symbol.
