Frequently asked Questions
Q. How many tuners does my PVR have?
A. Most PVRs have two tuners. This feature allows you to record two channels at the same time while watching a third program
from your PVR recordings library.
Q. Can I record or watch two programs at the same time?
A. Yes, you can use the SWAP button on your remote to change from one tuner to the other.
Q. Can the PVR play back a high definition recording while another HD program is being recorded?
A. Yes. In fact, you can record two programs at once while watching a previously recorded program from the hard drive for both
HD and regular programming.
Q. Are there separate buttons for each tuner? How do I record two programs at the same time?
A. The interactive guide can record two different programs listed with overlapping times by pressing the Record button, by
manually scheduling the recordings, or by setting future recordings from a program information screen.
Q. How many recordings can I schedule in the future?
A. There is no limit to the number of recordings you can schedule as long as you do not schedule more than two programs to
record at the same time and have available recording space.
Q. If a program exceeds planned broadcasting hours (for instance, a sports event requiring overtime play), how can
I make sure it will be recorded entirely?
A. Modify the recording options for this program. You can adjust recording start and end time to make sure that everything will
be recorded.
Q. Can I watch a program I am recording before the recording is completed?
A. Yes. You can either watch it live as it is being recorded or rewind the program you are currently recording and watch it from
the beginning while the recording continues.
Q. Can I make a VHS or DVD of a recorded program?
A. You can copy a recorded program on VHS or DVD by playing a recording from the PVR while simultaneously recording on
your VCR or DVD.
Q. Can I set up my PVR to record every episode of a specific program title?
A. Yes. Your PVR lets you record multiple episodes of a program according to your preferences by setting up a series recording.
Select the type of episode to record, such as a first-run only or all episodes. Specify how many recordings to save and how long
to save the recording – until you erase it or until space is needed. To access advanced series setup features like add minutes
to the start and end times and specify which channels to record, select the recording options icon to review all options.
GUIDE TIP: Use Title search to find all air times for a particular title. You can then set up individual recordings for any or all
episodes, no matter what time they're on.
Q. Can I increase the rewind and fast forward speed?
A. Yes. Your PVR will control rewind and fast forward at 4 speeds each. Just press REW or FF up to four times. The on-screen
indicator will show at what speed you are controlling playback.
Q. Can I program the PVR to skip ads during the recording?
A. No. However, you can fast forward ads while watching a recorded program.
Q. Can I bookmark a recorded show where I previously left it?
A. To resume viewing a program, select Play from the action icons or Restart from the beginning.
