HDPVR  630: SMART PVR TECHNOLOGY 

Smart PVR technology will completely change the way you watch TV.  By setting up series 
Recording Events, your HDPVR will automatically find and record all your favourite shows.  Once 
recorded, they’re instantly available to you with the press of a button – whenever you want! 

5A. SETTING RECORDING EVENTS 

Recording Events are easily set from the Program Options menu.  As described earlier, you can 
access this menu from the Guide, Search Results, Info Pages, or Upcoming Air Dates screen.  

From within the 

Program Options menu

, the following selections can be used to set a Recording 

Event: 

 

RECORD NEW EPISODES:

 Each time a 

first-run

 episode of the selected program airs, it will 

be automatically recorded.  This creates a recurring Recording Event. 

 

RECORD ALL EPISODES:

 Each time 

any

 episode of the selected program airs, it will be 

automatically recorded.  This creates a recurring Recording Event.   

 

RECORD THIS PROGRAM:

 When this 

specific

 episode or movie airs, it will be recorded at this 

time.  This creates a one-time Recording Event and will take priority over any existing 
Recording Events for that time.   

If you set a Recording Event from any screen where a channel number is listed with your 
selection (such as the Guide or Upcoming Air Dates screen), the Recording Event will default to 
record on the 

selected channel only

If you set a Recording Event from a screen where no channel number is listed (such as the 
Search Results screen), the Recording Event will default to record on 

all channels.

  

From within the 

Guide

, you can quickly set a one-time recording event by 

pressing the 

RECORD

 button on the desired program.  One-time recording events 

take priority over any existing Recording Events for that time.   

 

It is highly recommended that you 

always customize and confirm all 

Recording Event Options after setting 

any new Recording Event.
