Using Wintv-Scheduler; Time To Begin Program; Time To End Program - Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-250 Installation And Reference Manual

Using WinTV-Scheduler

WinTV-Scheduler allows you to schedule the recording of TV shows.
WinTV-Scheduler, once it is set, can be closed, and the WinTV applica-
tion will "wake up" at the desired time and tuned to the desired chan-
nel.
After installation, WinTV-Scheduler can be found on your desktop.
WinTV-Scheduler works by using the Windows Task Scheduler to
launch WinTV at the chosen time. WinTV-Scheduler sets up a com-
mand line in Task Scheduler to run WinTV2000, specifying a TV chan-
nel and a length of time to record.
To set up an event for timed watching or recording, run WinTV-
Scheduler and click on the Add Program.
The items that need to be set for each event are:
- Time to Begin Program: set to the desired start time. The default
time is about 3 minutes from the current time. Click on the hour to
set the hour, the minute to set the minute and the second (if you
feel this is necessary) to set the minute to start the program. Note: It
takes about 10 seconds to launch the WinTV and set up for record-
ing, so set the Time to Begin Program to at least 10 seconds
before the time your TV show actually starts.
- Time to End Program: set to the time to end this event. Note: you
need to leave at least 30 seconds between scheduled programs to
give the recorder time to set up its disk buffers.
