Recording an Event While Watching Another

You can set up the receiver to record a program from both tuners (TV1 and TV2) at the

same time.

1 Find a program to watch.

2 Press RECORD. A message will display asking whether you want to record the remainder

of the program. Select OK to begin recording now.

3 Press DVR twice. The DVR Event screen will open. You should see the program that is

recording indicated by the red dot next to the listings.

4 Select another live program to watch while recording, or select a program that you

recorded earlier (one that is not recording now) and then Start or Start Over. You should

now be watching a pre-recorded program while the receiver records the other program.

RECORDING OPTIONS

When you set up a timer, you can choose from the following options:

• Stop Recording Manually—The receiver will record until you press STOP.

• Extend End Time—You can extend the stop time for the recording. This option is

useful for programs that might run overtime, like sporting events or awards shows.

• Create a Recurring Timer—You can set up a timer like the one described in Setting

Up an Automatic Timer on page 67.

• Record the Entire Event—The receiver stops recording at the end of the event. This

selection is available only if the receiver was tuned to the channel at the beginning of

the program.

Note: If you tune to a program after it starts, you can record only the part of the program

after you have tuned to it.
