Recording TV Programs

Media Center allows you to record TV programs so
that you can watch them when it is convenient. You
can record the program you are watching, or you
can record a future program or series from the
Guide, the Search, or the Recorded TV window in
My TV. You can record two programs at the same
time if your HP Media Center PC has two TV tuners
that have the same type of TV signal input (select
models only).
If a recording error occurs, the program will not be
recorded unless the conflict is resolved. If you try to
schedule a recording and another is already
scheduled for the same time, a conflict window
appears and gives you the option to record the new
program or record the previously scheduled
program.
To make sure your program is being recorded,
select My TV, Recorded TV, and then
Scheduled. The Record icon also appears next to
the program in the Guide while you are recording.
The Record icon disappears when the recording is
complete.
Recording icons
The Record icon appears in the
Television Program Guide next to the
program scheduled to record.
The Record Series icon appears in
the Television Program Guide next to
each occurrence of a program in a
series that is scheduled to be
recorded.
The Record Conflict/Error icon
appears in the Television Program
Guide and the taskbar if another
program is scheduled to be recorded
at the same time.
Record Series means that you select to record each
episode of that program from one channel. Media
Center won't record duplicate episodes. Media
Center also looks for alternative times to record an
episode if a recording conflict arises.
