Recording Programs
An even better way to catch all your favorites
Recording is a great way to see your favorite programs on your schedule. You won’t miss your
favorite series because it moved to a different day or time, or miss your team’s playoff game
because you had to work late. Just set a program to record and your DIRECTV Plus Receiver
will save it for you to watch later. To watch recorded programs, use the Playlist feature. (See
The Playlist on page 29.)
To schedule a program for recording with specifi c options:
1) Highlight a program that interests you and press INFO.
2) Highlight and select Record. A screen is displayed where you can set record options for
that program. Follow the onscreen instructions to set the program to record as you wish.
3) Select the Set Record button, then OK on the confi rmation screen.
You can record up to two programs at once if you’ve connected both inputs on your
DIRECTV Plus Receiver. However, if a program you select to record confl icts with another
recording, you will be notifi ed of the confl ict at the time and given a choice of which
recording to cancel.
One-Touch Record with Default Options
On any screen, you can press the RECORD key on a highlighted program to schedule it to
record with default options.
Pressing RECORD once schedules the highlighted program to record. A recording icon is
displayed next to the program title to let you know it is scheduled.
For a one-time only program:
• Pressing RECORD again cancels the record.
For episodic programs:
• Pressing RECORD a second time schedules all episodes of the program for recording.
• Pressing RECORD a third time cancels the recording.
