Record Two Programs at Once
The DVR gives you different ways to record two programs at once:
• Schedule two programs to record at the same time by following either of the
procedures in “Record Multiple Episodes of a Future Program” on page 27.
• Record two programs live at the save time by recording one program and then
tuning to another channel and recording a second program. For details on
recording programs live, see “Record a Program That You are Watching Live”
on page 25.
• When recording two live programs at the same time, you can watch them
while they record using PIP, or you can play back a previously recorded
program and watch it as well; but you cannot tune to another channel and
watch a third program live.
Recording and Watching Programs
If, while recording two programs, you try to tune to another channel, the DVR displays
a Channel Change Notice to let you know that you must stop a recording to change
channels. For details, see “Cancel a Recording That Is in Progress” on page 30.

“Record a Program That You Are Watching Live” on page 25.

2. Use the arrow keys to find the future PPV event you want to record. Press
Select or press Record . The Future Programs Option screen is

your storage space.
