RECORD PROGRAMS
Wightman’s DVR service gives you the freedom to record the program you are
watching as you are watching it, record a program while you watch another, or
record a program you see in the program guide . You can also schedule a series
recording so you always catch all episodes of your favorite programs .
Note: If a program you record is either locked by parental rating settings or
on a channel that is locked, the DVR will record the program, but you will be
required to enter a PIN to view it.
Record what you are Currently Watching If you are watching a program and
decide that you want to record the remainder of the program, you can easily
start the recording .
1 . While watching a program, press the Record button on the remote control .
2 . Choose whether this is a One-Time Recording, a Series Recording, or press
EXIT on the remote to safely exit the screen .
3 . If you choose, you can customize your recording selections for Start and
Stop time and which Folder to save the recording to (for Folders, see page 15)
.
4 . The Reminder function may also be selected from this screen . Select the
Reminder function if you would like your television to remind you when:
· The program is going to air .
· A new episode of the program is going to air .
· Each time a program will air .
· You may set the reminder for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or 15 minutes prior to the
program start .
· You can also choose to have the television automatically tune to the channel
when the recording starts . More information on setting reminders can be found

Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
Create a One-Time Recording from the Guide Whether you are choosing a program
from the Guide or if you are currently viewing the program when you decide to
record it, the process to create a One-Time Recording is the same . 1 . From
the Guide, highlight the program you want to record and press the
Record button on the remote . The recording options will display . 2 .
Highlight One-Time Recording (will automatically be highlighted) . 3 . If you
want to customize your recording, use the Arrow buttons to select Start
and Stop times, Folder to save the recording to and Auto Tune preferences .
Note: Choosing to extend the stop time is a great option for live sporting
events that may last longer than the originally scheduled time. 4 . Arrow down
to “Create One Time Recording” and press OK on the remote . 5 . A red circle
will display in the Guide indicating the program will record . 6 . You will
also be able to find the recording in the Future Recordings list . 7 . If you
change your mind and decide against recording the program, highlight the
program on the Guide, press the Stop button on the remote and the red circle
will be removed indicating the program will not record .
Record a ‘Live’ Event (Live sporting event, award show, etc.) Recording a Live
Event is essentially the same as recording any other program . However, since
there is a chance of a live event running longer than originally scheduled in
the programming guide, you have the option to record up to one hour longer in
order to be sure you record the entire event . An example would be a major
league baseball game or football game . 1 . From the Guide, highlight the
program you want to record and press the
Record button on the remote control . The recording options will display . 2 .
