Recording programs manually without using the
guide
You do not need to use the Television Program Guide to record TV. You can record a TV
program by pressing the Record button on the remote control while watching live TV, or
you can select a specific date, channel, and recording time period in Windows Media
Center.
For some programs, you might want to begin recording before the scheduled beginning
and after the scheduled ending of the program.
To record a program manually:
1 Press the Windows Media Center Start button on the remote control, press the Live TV
button, and then press Record to begin recording the program.
Or
Click the Windows Start Button on the task bar, and then Windows Media
Center, or press the Windows Media Center Start button on the remote control, select
TV + Movies, recorded tv, and then select add recording.
2 Select Channel and Time.
3 Select the channel number box, and enter the channel number by using the numeric
keypad on the remote control or the keyboard.
4 Select the (+) or (–) buttons, and then press Enter on the keyboard or OK on the
remote control to scroll through choices and to enter the recording frequency, date,
start and stop times, and storage and quality options.
NOTE: Recorded TV programs that have been copied to a DVD can be played on the
computer and on some DVD players.
Recorded TV programs can be backed up as part of a full system backup and restored to
the same HP computers, but not to other computers.
