Easy DVR instructions



Depending on the DVR model you have, most DVRs can record up to 120 hours of standard-definition programming or up to 26 hours of high-definition programming. Storage space varies based on the type of channel (digital, HD) you are recording. Your DVR saves your recordings and allows you to view them whenever you want. You can watch and record programs at the same time or watch only a portion of your episode and view again later. With program notices and options to guide you through the steps, playing and recording programs is very simple.

Record while watching TV
1. Simply press Record on your remote. A notice appears to indicate recording has begun.

*Tip
To record a second program at the same time, tune directly to the program you want to record. Your DVR will automatically swap to the available tuner.
