Questions About Pick Programs to Record • You can archive special recordings to a videotape to preserve them longer. From the Program Information screen, choose Save to VCR. See page 75. How do I check the upcoming programs that I've scheduled to record? • From DIRECTV Central, select Pick Programs to Record, then To Do List. How do I cancel a recording? • If you change the channel while a program is recording, you will be given the option to cancel the recording. • To cancel a scheduled recording: In the To Do List, highlight the program and press the "Clear" button. What happens if a sports event I have scheduled to record goes into overtime? • The DVR service cannot predict whether a sporting event might go into overtime, but it does provide a feature that lets you add from one extra minute to three hours at the end of a recording. The Overtime Scheduler® has two options: Start Recording and Stop Recording. Both are available on the Recording Options screen. You can even use the Overtime Scheduler to change the scheduled end of a recording while the program is still being recorded. You can use the Overtime Scheduler with any kind of program, not just sports. For more information, see page 44. Can I schedule to record a program that will not be aired for months? • You can create a WishListTM search to set up recordings for programs that are not yet listed in the guide. For example, create a keyword WishList search that uses the program's title as the keyword. See page 54. Can I save a program from the Now Playing List to my VCR? • Yes. You can use the "Save to VCR" function. See page 75 for more information. Can I copy or archive programs to a ZIP drive or any other computer storage media? • No, the DVR does not copy or archive recordings to any device other than a VCR. How do I go back to the beginning of a recording I'm watching? • Press the ADVANCE button ( ) on the remote to go to the end of a recording you're watching. Press it again to go to the beginning. 7 113
