Program reminders and recording timers

2Pressing the SELECT button once sets a program reminder. Pressing it again sets the program to be recorded on your VCR.Highlight the program you wish to record or be reminded about, and press the SELECT button.

A clock icon is added to the program listing when a program reminder is scheduled.

A videotape icon replaces the clock icon when a recording timer has been scheduled.

Once you have set a reminder, when the program is about to begin, the DIRECTV® HD Receiver displays a message reminding you about the program.

To use the program recording feature, you must have correctly connected and positioned the VCR control cable. You must also set up the DIRECTV® HD Receiver to communicate with your VCR (see the first section of this chapter).

Make sure there is a tape in your VCR and that the VCR is turned off before the start time of any programs you have set to be recorded.
