Recording Shows

To record any show that’s on now or in the next several days, start from the Channel Guide. The Channel Guide is an interactive, on-screen program guide that lists seven days of television information for all of the channels you currently receive.

While the Hard Disk Recorder does not need to be on for recording, cable boxes and satellite receivers must remain on.

Selecting a Show

You can also go back 24 hours within the Channel Guide to see what programs have already aired. (See below.) So, if you missed a show, you can select it in the Channel Guide and have the Hard Disk Recorder search for all the episodes that have not yet aired. Then, have the Hard Disk Recorder record a future airing of the show.
