Recording TV Programs

You can record current shows, schedule future shows to record, and watch the recorded shows at any

time. You can record an individual show or record a series of episodes that occur at regular intervals.

AT&T U-verse TV stores your recordings and keeps an up-to-date list of them. You can find

programs using the Recorded TV screen and the program guide.

You can pause, rewind, and fast-forward recorded shows just as you would a DVD or a videotape.

Hard Disk Drive Required

You can record programs only if your receiver has a built-in or externally connected hard disk drive.

If there is no hard disk drive, you see an error message when you try to use this feature.

Scheduled Recordings Complete in Standby State

When you schedule a program to be recorded, the recording completes even if the box is in Standby

mode during recording. This applies only to a scheduled recording, not to an unscheduled recording

that you started by pressing the RECORD button while watching full-screen TV.

Recording Locked Programs

You do not have to enter a PIN to schedule recordings for programs locked by the parental locking

feature, but viewers do have to enter the correct PIN to view the recording. For more information

about Parental Locking see

Using Parental Locking (Parental Control) .

Recording a Single Program

You can record the program you are currently watching, or you can schedule a program to be recorded

in the future.

Recording the Program You Are Watching

While watching full-screen live TV, you can record the program you are watching.

You can record the program until its scheduled end, or you can add padding time after the end to make

sure the whole program records if it runs longer than expected.

To record the program you are watching until its scheduled end

• Press the RECORD button on your receiver remote control.

The message “Recording” appears briefly on the screen. The RECORDING LED on your receiver

lights up and remains on while the program is recording.

The recording begins immediately and stops automatically at the end of the program time slot

shown in the program guide.

To record the program you are watching with padding after the end

1) Press the INFO button, select Record program or Record series, and then press the OK

button.

The

Record screen appears.

2) If you want to stop recording exactly when the program is scheduled to end, press the OK button

with

Record selected.

The recording is now scheduled and will stop at the scheduled end time, even if the program runs

longer than expected, as often happens with sports events.

The recording is now scheduled and will stop the specified number of minutes after the

scheduled end time.

Notes

• If you pause a live TV program, then press PLAY to begin watching the paused portion, and then

start recording the program, the program jumps to the point where the program is live and begins

recording from there. The paused portion of the program is not recorded.

For more information on pausing live programs, see

• If you start recording the program you are watching and then press the POWER button on your

remote control to put the receiver in Standby mode, the recording continues. A previously

Resolving Recording Conflicts

The receiver can record one program at a time. You can schedule multiple recordings if the time slots

do not overlap. Recordings conflict when more than one program is scheduled to record at the same

time.

This can happen when scheduling individual or series recordings.

screen asks you which program to record.

To resolve a conflict with one program

• Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to select the program you want to record, and then

press the

OK button.

Sometimes a new recording conflicts with more than one previously scheduled recording. This can

happen if the program you are trying to record overlaps the time slots of two or more other programs

you have scheduled to record. If this happens, you can do one of the following:

•

Record the new program and cancel all the conflicting recordings. Select the new program, and

then press

OK.

•

Skip the new program and keep all of the previously scheduled recordings. Select Previously

scheduled programs

, and then press OK.

recording that was overridden and canceled in favor of another individual recording or a series

recording.
