TV Scheduler
WinTV v8’s built-in TV Scheduler allows you to schedule the recording of TV shows. Once a
record event is set, WinTV v8 can be closed and will “wake up” at the desired time and tuned
to the desired channel.
N
ote: your PC needs to be turned on for scheduled recording to work.
When a scheduled record event takes
place, the WinTV v8 application records
“in background” so that you can continue
to watch your live TV program, even as the
recording progresses.
The TV Scheduler can be found in the
WinTV v8 Options menu. Right click
your mouse button in the TV window to
see the Options menu. Click Scheduler.
To set up an event for timed watching or
recording, click the Add button.
The items that need to be set for each event are:
- Name: you can add a name to the recording. If you do not enter a name, the name will
be in the channel/date format.
- Channel: chose one of your scanned channels.
- Start time: set to the desired start time. Click on the hour to set the hour, the minute to
set the minute. Note: It takes about 15 seconds to launch the WinTV and start recording.
- Duration: number of minutes in the recorded program.
- Recurrance: one time, daily, weekly. Note: If you set for Record Weekly, you must also
specify the Day of the Week for the recording.
- Date to Begin Program: today's date is the default. Change this if you want to schedule
on another date.
- Source selection: leave set at WinTV to bring up the WinTV at the requested time and on
the requested channel.
Once these are set, click OK. You can add more recordings, clicking OK after each event is
set.
When you are finished click Close.
The WinTV program does not have to be running for the Schedular to work, but your PC
needs to be turned on. If WinTV is not running, it takes about 15 seconds to start WinTV and
to start the recording of TV.
