Things You'll Need:
- DVR player
- Cable
- TV
-
Step 1
Using the remote control that comes with the DVR box, search through the guide of shows and choose which one you want to record and select it.
-
Step 2
You'll have several recording options: from single time recording to continual weekly recordings. The great thing is that there's a swap button that allows you to volley back and forth between channels and shows while you're recording or not.
-
Step 3
The Picture in a Picture (PIP) option will let you view in a shrunken screen another show while you watch your current programming – so you don't miss a beat and can switch back and forth at leisure.
-
Step 4
The DVR can store many hours of taped shows but it will start erasing any unwatched shows in the cache to free up memory space once capacity is reached.
-
Step 5
To keep certain shows for a longer period of time, you can choose to manually delete them.
-
Step 6
One main advantage of the DVR is it allows you to rewind shows that you're watching and fast forward past commercials as well. It's genius!
