Chapter 7: Using the THINC ™ home network feature
G. Using e-mail scheduling
You can use the e-mail scheduling feature to schedule and
delete recordings and reminders by sending a “request e-mail”
to the TV’s e-mail address from any PC.
The four commands the TV will accept are ADD, DELETE,
GET, and HELP, as described in this section.
If you have not already done so, follow the instructions in
sections A and B (- page 57), and in section F (- page 67),
before proceeding.
When a recording is scheduled via e-mail, the recording device
used will be the VCR connected to the TV's analog A/V OUT
terminals (see item 4 on page 9 for the location of the A/V
OUT terminals; see the separate Installation Guide for various
VCR connection examples).
E-mail parameters
Note: Some e-mail clients automatically insert e-mail
signatures, which the TV will try to process. These may
generate unwanted error messages.
• The maximum allowable e-mail size is 16 KB. E-mails over
16 KB will be automatically deleted.
• E-mails sent to the TV cannot contain any attachments. The
TV will automatically delete any e-mail with an attached
file.
• E-mails can be formatted either Plain Text or Rich Text
Format (HTML style).
• E-mails sent to the TV that are not properly formatted,
are from the wrong e-mail address, or have the wrong ID
(if specified) will be deleted.
• All e-mails sent to the TV will be deleted eventually.
Note:
• Toshiba is not responsible for any damage or loss
caused directly or indirectly by the failure of the e-mail
scheduling feature to record content intended to be
recorded.
• Toshiba is not responsible for, nor has any control over,
any content recorded and/or viewed using the e-mail
scheduling feature. Further, the e-mail scheduling
feature is not meant to be used for unauthorized
recording and/or viewing of copyrighted works.
• The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or
revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and
other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws
of the United States and other countries, and may
subject you to civil and criminal liability.

Recognized tags
When you send an ADD, DELETE, GET, or HELP request
e-mail to the TV, the TV will recognize only the tags listed
below. These tags (and their accompanying data) must be
listed in the body of the request e-mail in the following order:
• ID* Your ID (required only if you set the “ID Required”
field to On*)
• COMMAND ADD — or — DELETE — or — GET — or
— HELP
• INPUT ANT-1 or ANT-2 or CABLE BOX, or SET-TOP
BOX
• CHANNEL Channel number of the recording or reminder
• DATE Date of the recording or reminder
• START TIME Start time of the recording or reminder
• DURATION Length of time of the recording or reminder
• TYPE RECORD — or — REMIND
* The ID is case sensitive. The ID tag is required only if you created
an ID in the “ID” field and set the “ID Required” field to On. If you set
the “ID Required” field to Off, you do not need to include the ID tag
line in your request e-mail. See “Description of fields in the E-mail
Scheduling Setup window” (
- page 71).
