What can I do with DVR?
DVR provides you with the ability to record your favorite programs all season long, in addition to
allowing you to pause and rewind live TV. You can even set REMINDERS so you don’t miss shows
you want to watch.
How easy is it to use?
Using your DVR is easy. When you want to record a program, select the RECORD button. When you
want to pause TV, select the PAUSE button.
How many hours of TV can I record?*
Recording capacity depends on the video format that is being used. For digital programs, you have
approximately 80 hours of storage space.
How long can I keep my recordings?
You can keep your favorite programs as long as you want. But remember, recording space is
limited, so you may need to delete programs on occasion to make room for more.
What are the advantages to having a dual-tuner DVR?
With a dual-tuner, you can watch one program while recording another. You can even record
two of your favorite programs at the same time.
What equipment do I need to get started?
You will need a DVR converter box and a remote. It is virtually the same size as a DVD player and
can be conveniently placed on top or near your TV.
Can I record On Demand and Pay-Per-View programs?
On Demand and Pay-Per-View programs cannot be recorded with your DVR.
How long can I pause live TV?
You can pause up to two hours of standard TV programming.
Can I watch a program while I’m recording another?
You can watch a previously recorded program while you are recording a live program by access-
ing the DVR menu. However, if you change channels, a screen will appear asking you to confirm
this channel change and stop the recording.
Can I program my DVR to record every episode of a specific show?
Your DVR will allow you to schedule recordings based on a program airtime and channel. You
can also set a repeat recording, such as every day or once a week.
On occasion, a recording starts a minute or two after the program has begun. Why?
The DVR timer is synchronized with the program guide. If a broadcaster starts the program a
minute earlier than the program guide’s scheduled time, the DVR will miss that first minute. You
can program the DVR to start early by adjusting your Recording Options.
How will I know when I’m almost out of recording space?
A message will appear on-screen advising you when recording space is low (80% full) or full. If you
are recording a program and run out of recording space, the recording will stop. You can always
see how much recording space is available from My Recordings. You can also manually delete
recordings and set your DVR to automatically delete recorded programs when space is needed.
