DVR saves this information so that it can record episodes as
they are broadcast.
Important: Whenever you set up DVR to record all episodes of a program, it records indefinitely until
you cancel the recordings or run out of storage space.
Record Two Programs at Once
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 a
Single Program or All Episodes of a Future Program” on page 23 and 24.
• Record two live programs at the same time by recording one program and then tuning to another
channel and recording a second program. The first program begins recording as soon as you tune
to it and press Record
. The second program begins recording when you tune to it and press
Record . For details on recording programs live, see “Record a Program That You Are Watching
Live” on page 21.
Note: When recording two programs live at the same time, you can watch them while they record, or you
can play back a recording and watch it as well, but you cannot tune to another channel and watch a third
program live.
or
You can always press My DVR to access your
recordings and change scheduled recordings.
or
If, while recording two programs, you try to tune to another channel,
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’s in Progress” on page 28.
When scheduling a recording of All episodes, you can
choose to save the 2, 3, 4, or 5 most recent episodes.
Or, you can save every episode until you cancel the
recordings or run out of storage space.
For example, let’s say that you choose to save the
2 most recent episodes of a program that is broadcast
every weeknight Monday through Friday. First, DVR would
record Monday and Tuesday night’s episodes. Then, when
DVR records the program on Wednesday, it automatically
deletes the program it recorded on Monday. So the
Tuesday and Wednesday recordings are now saved.
Then, on Thursday, the Thursday episode will be recorded,
the Tuesday recording will be erased, and so on.
