date, start and stop time, channel number, etc.
What do the frequencies for Record and Remind
mean?

through Friday
•
Regularly— records/reminds for the
channel/time combination on any day of the
week, on the same channel
•
Weekly— records/reminds for the channel/
time combination on a specific day of the
week
•
Off (not cancel)—keeps the show in the list
but will not record/remind the show until the
frequency is changed
