How do I cancel a recording?
• If you try to change the channel while a program is recording, you will be given the
option to cancel the recording.
• To cancel a scheduled recording: In the To Do List, highlight the program and press
the CLEAR button.
What happens if a sports event I have scheduled to record goes into overtime?
• The DVR service cannot predict whether a sporting event might go into overtime.
However, it does provide a feature that lets you add from one extra minute to three
hours at the end of a recording. The Overtime Scheduler has two options: Start
Recording and Stop Recording. Both are available on the Recording Options screen.
You can even use the Overtime Scheduler to change the scheduled end of a recording
while the program is still being recorded. You can use the Overtime Scheduler with
any kind of program, not just sports. For more information, see page 52.
Can I schedule to record a program that will not be aired for months?
• You can create a WishList to set up recordings for programs that are not yet listed in
the guide. For example, create a keyword WishList that uses the program’s title as the
keyword. See page 64.
Can I save a program from the Now Playing List to my VCR or DVD recorder?
• Yes. You can use the “Save to VCR” function. See page 81 for more information.
Can I copy or archive programs to a ZIP drive or any other computer storage media?
• No. You can only connect the HD DVR to standard A/V devices such as a VCR or
DVD recorder.
