Dual Recordings; Manual Timers - Shaw Direct Satellite TV User Manual

4F. Dual Recordings
With two tuners, your HDPVR can record up to two programs at once. If you are watching TV and dual
scheduled recordings are about to begin, you will see the Notification Bar appear at the top of the screen.
When the Notification Bar appears on-screen, you have three options:
A will dismiss the alert, which will cause you to be tuned away from the current channel at the
start of the programs to allow for both upcoming recordings to begin. GO BACK will also dismiss
the Notification Bar with the same effect.
B and C can be used to cancel one of your recording events – the program that will be cancelled
will always be listed within the Notification Bar.
You can always use the PVR Upcoming menu to cancel or reschedule an upcoming recording to ensure
you have a tuner free for Live TV.
If you attempt to change channels while two programs are currently being recorded, you will receive a
warning message explaining that this is not possible. You can select "VOD" to access the on-demand
menu bar, press GO BACK to continue watching the current program, or select "PVR List", which will
allow you to:
Watch a previously recorded program
•
• Watch either of the in-progress recordings from the beginning
Stop either recording to free up a tuner to watch live TV.
•
When one of the recordings finishes, you will be able to change channels again.
4G. Manual Timers
A manual timer can be created by selecting "Manual Timer" from the PVR Menu Bar. Manual Timers can
be set to either auto-tune or record a particular channel for the specified duration at the specified
frequency, but do not capture any program information such as title, description, or parental rating. If
Parental Controls are active, manual timers may be locked and require the password to view or edit,
depending on the permissions set.
