Record and Play Back Programs
Record Two Programs at Once
The Entertainment Server gives you different ways to record two programs at once:
• Schedule two programs to record at the same time by following either of the
procedures in “Record a Single Program or All Episodes of a Future Program”
on page 19.
• Record two programs live at the save time by recording one program and then
tuning to another channel and recording a second program. The first program
begins recording as soon as you tune to it. The second program begins recording
when you press the Record key. For details on recording programs live, see
“Record a Program That You are Watching Live” on page 17.
Note: When recording two programs live at the same time, you can watch
them while they record, or you can play back a recording and watch it as well,
but you cannot tune to another channel and watch a third program live.
To record and watch two programs live, use the PIP feature as described here:
1. Record the program in the main TV screen by following either of the
procedures in “Record a Program That You Are Watching Live” on page 17.
2. If the PIP screen is not displayed, press PIP On/Off .
3. Press PIP Channel Up or PIP Channel Down to tune the PIP
channel to the second program you want to record.
4. Press Swap to swap the program in the PIP screen with the program in
the main TV screen.
5. Record the program that is now in the main TV screen by following either of
the procedures in “Record a Program That You Are Watching Live” on page 17.
Record a Pay-Per-View Event
If your cable service provider allows, you can record pay-per-view events.
1. Purchase the event and wait for it to begin playing.
2. Record the event just like any other live program. For details, see
“Record a Program That You Are Watching Live” on page 17.
Recording and Watching Programs
If, while recording two programs, you try to tune to another channel, the Entertainment
Server displays a Channel Change Notice to let you know that you must stop a recording
to change channels. For details, see “Cancel a Recording That Is in Progress” on page 24.
