If you are using the VCR Commander
Service, your set-top can help you schedule
programs that you want to record. VCR
Commander automatically starts and stops

record a future program from the IPG or by
setting a timer.

currently watching using your remote
control.

rupted accidentally, even if you turn off

timers.

cally adjust to the maximum level when the
