your show is being recorded, you can select TV Guide. The
Record icon should appear next to the show in the TV Guide
while you are recording. The Record icon disappears when
the recording is complete.
If there is a recording conflict or error, the Record Conflict
icon appears next to the show in the TV Guide. This means
the show will not be recorded unless the conflict is resolved.
Recording TV tips❖If you are watching live TV during a scheduled recording
time, you can watch only the show being recorded. If you
change channels, the recording stops.
❖If you go to another area in the Media Center, the TV
channel you last selected will be displayed in the inset
window at the bottom of the window.
❖When scheduling a recording in the TV Guide, you can
press the Record button once to record a show, twice to
record a series, or three times to cancel a scheduled
recording you just selected.
❖When you press the Record button to record a show you
are watching, the recording automatically stops at the end
of the show’s regularly scheduled end time.
❖Some channels can be shared by two or more networks,
depending on the time of day. The Guide may display
only one network’s programming. This may cause
recording options to be unavailable. You may need to
manually update the Guide before scheduling a
recording.
If you turn off (shut down) your computer, the Media Center
will not record a scheduled program. Your computer must be
turned on or in Stand By mode to record a TV program. The
computer will not automatically go into Stand By mode if the
Media Center is open.
