Q. If a program is being recorded in the PIP screen and I turn off the PIP
feature, will this stop the recording?
A. No. The DVR continues to record the program even if you turn off the PIP
feature.
Q. What if my TV doesn't have the PIP feature?
A. That's no problem. You can still use the PIP feature because the DVR provides
the PIP feature, not your TV.

Q. If I've been tuned to a program since it started, do I have to rewind to the
beginning to record the entire program?
A. No, if you have been tuned to the program since its beginning, and the program
is one hour or less, just press
entire program. Recording automatically stops when the program ends.
Q. Can I record the program that is shown in the PIP screen?
A. You can record a program that is shown in the PIP screen, but you must swap
the program to the main screen first. For details, see "Swap the Main Screen
and the PIP Screen" on page 15.
Q. Can I record a pay-per-view event?
A. Yes, if you have been authorized by your service provider. After you purchase
the event and wait for it to begin playing, you can record it just like any other
live program. For details, see "Record a Pay-Per-View Event" on page 17.
Q. Can I schedule a recording of a future pay-per-view event?
A. Yes, if you have been authorized by your service provider. For details, see
"Schedule Future Pay-Per-View Recordings" on page 17.
Q. Can I record video-on-demand (VOD) programs?
A. No.
Q. Can I recover a recording that was erased from the DVR?
A. No. There is no way to recover a recording that has been erased from the
Recorded List screen. You can copy programs to a VCR tape or extend the
length of time a program is saved, though. For details, see "Copy Recordings
From Your DVR to a VCR Tape" on page 23 or "Change the Save Time of a
Single Recording" on page 21.
Q. Can I use PIP while copying a program to my VCR?
A. When copying a program to a VCR, the PIP screen displays what is being
copied to the VCR. You cannot use PIP to watch another program while copying
a program to a VCR, but you can change channels in the main screen.
Q. Can I record two programs at the same time and watch a live program on
another channel?
A. No. If, while recording two programs, you try to tune to another channel, the
DVR displays a Channel Change Notice to let you know that you must stop a
recording to change channels. You can watch either of the two channels you are
recording, or you can play back a recording and watch it. For details, see
"Cancel a Recording That Is in Progress" on page 19.
