8. HDDSR: Smart Reminder Technology

The same technology used on the Shaw Direct HDPVR to automatically record and manage all your
favourite programs is also available on the HDDSR to "remind" you whenever certain programs are
airing. When a program you've set a reminder for is about to start, you'll see the Notification Bar at the
top of the screen. Just press B on your remote and you'll see a list of all upcoming "reminded"
programs, all in one convenient menu!
8A. Setting Reminders

menu from the Guide, Search Results, or the Upcoming Air Dates screen. Please note, some Program
Options may not be available, depending on the Permissions set within the Parental Control menus.

with a while bell symbol.
