5E. DUAL RECORDINGS
With two tuners, your HDPVR can record up to two programs at once. If you are watching TV and dual scheduled recordings are about to begin, you will see a “warning sign” (as pictured at left) appear in the top right corner of the screen. Press ENTER on the remote control to view the warning, or any other key to remove it.
If you press ENTER, you will be able to allow or deny one of the recordings from taking place. If you select “Allow”, the receiver will tune away to the specified program when it begins in order to record it. If you select “Deny”, you will be asked to confirm that you are stopping the recording from occurring.
You can always use the PVR Upcoming menu to cancel or reschedule an upcoming recording to ensure you have a tuner free for Live TV.
DUAL RECORDINGS IN PROGRESS
If you attempt to change channels while two programs are currently being recorded, you will receive a warning message explaining that this is not possible. You can select “Cancel” to continue watching the current program, or select “PVR List”, which will allow you to:
•Watch a previously recorded program
•Watch either of the
•Stop either recording to free up a tuner to watch Live TV.
When one of the recordings finishes, you will be able to change channels again.
5F. MANUAL TIMERS
A manual timer can be created by selecting “Manual Timers” from the Menu Bar. Manual Timers record the specified channel for the specified duration, but do not capture any program information such as title, description, or parental rating. If Parental Controls are “enabled”, all manual timers will be locked and require the password to view or edit.
If you would like to record a program which may run long, such a live sporting event, it is recommended to use the “End Late” setting in PVR Options for the desired program.
