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.

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.

NBC free access to SUPER BOWL XLIX!

NBC Universal announced that it will be offering an 11-hour free digital video stream of this year’s Super Bowl. In addition to the game itself, the free stream—which kicks off at noon ET of Feb. 1—will include Super Bowl XLIX pre- and post-game shows as well as NBC’s post-game presentation of The Blacklist.

While the stream is meant to promote NBC’s TV Everywhere campaign, the broadcast won’t exactly be “everywhere,” as the event will only be available via desktop computers and tablets. The NFL has given the exclusive rights to live stream on smartphones to Verizon Wireless.

Viewers will be able to tune into the stream through NBC.com, NBC Sports Live Extra, and the NBC Sports Live Extra app, without the added step of logging in and authenticating their pay TV subscription details. Click the link below to view!
