FREQUENTLY SKED QUESTIONS (ENP)
Q 1. If I’ve been watching a program since it started, do I have to rewind it to the beginning to record the entire
program?
A 1. No; if you have been tuned to the program from the start, just press at any time during the program to record it
in its entirety.
Q 2. How will I know if the terminal is about to run out of memory?
A 2. The next time you try to schedule a recording, a warning will appear on the Confirm Recording screen. Also, you can
check how full the hard disk is at any time by accessing the LIST menu and then pressing the
key.
Q 3.
Can I record two programs at the same time?
A 3. Yes; the PVR is highly advanced and lets you record two programs at once.
Q 4. Can I record two programs while watching a third?
A 4. Yes and no. You can record two programs while watching another you have already recorded. However, you cannot
record two programs while watching a third being broadcast on another channel.
Q 5. What happens if the terminal loses power temporarily?
A 5. Everything you have recorded will be saved, based on the save time you selected in the Edit Recording screen.
The only recordings you may miss are those that were scheduled during the time the terminal lost power.
Q 6. Do my Parental Control settings carry over to PVR recordings?
A 6. Yes; if you have blocked programs by channel or by rating in the General Settings screen, those settings will carry
over to PVR recordings. For example, if you decided to block all R-rated programs, these programs will still be recorded,
but you will have to enter the correct Parental Control PIN to play them back.
Q 7. Can I use a traditional VCR along with the PVR?
A 7. Yes, but how you use your VCR depends on whether you have an Explorer
®
series 8000, PVR & PVR HD, or if your
system includes a home theatre receiver. Please refer to the “How to Use Peripherals” section for instructions on using a
VCR with your terminal.
Q 8. How far in advance can I schedule recordings with the PVR?
A 8. Three days in advance for recordings scheduled via the Program Guide, and two weeks in advance for recordings
that you schedule manually. Better still, you can schedule recordings of multiple episodes of a program, as far in advance
as you want, provided that the program airs in the same time slot each day or each week.
