Recording TV tips
❖ If you are watching live TV during a scheduled recording
time, you can watch only the show being recorded. If you
change channels, the recording stops.
❖ If you go to another area in the Media Center, the TV
channel you last selected will be displayed in the inset
window at the bottom of the window.
❖ When scheduling a recording in the TV Guide, you can
press the Record button once to record a show, twice to
record a series, or three times to cancel a scheduled
recording you just selected.
❖ Multiple record icons (red dots) next to a show indicates
that Media Center is set to record the series.
❖ When you press the Record button to record a show you
are watching, the recording automatically stops at the end
of the show’s regularly scheduled end time.
❖ Some channels can be shared by two or more networks,
depending on the time of day. The Guide may display
only one network’s programming. This may cause
recording options to be unavailable. You may need to
manually update the Guide before scheduling a
recording.
If you turn off your computer, the Media Center will not record
a scheduled program. Your computer must be turned on or in
Standby mode to record a TV program. The computer will not
automatically go into Standby mode if the Media Center is
open.
