Manual Method for Scheduling A Recording Without an EPG

[Danny Vega]

I would like to be able to enter a time, date, duration, channel #, and encoding quality level for a specific recording that I want to take place at some time in the future beyond where the EPG ends. The Zap2it EPG data is usually only good for 1 -2 weeks in the future. I would like the ability to schedule recordings beyond the EPG "window" manually. An example of this is that on June 1, the EPG will only go to June 8. However, I know that on June 11 at 7:00PM on my channel 9, there's a program that I would like to record but it is not yet on the EPG. I would like to schedule that recording now and not have to worry about it when that date/time DOES appear on the EPG.

Thats what the "Manual Rec" button is for on the recording screen. You can specify channel, start time, end time, file name, reoccurance pattern etc.

I must be doing something wrong because I tried to do a manual record to schedule a future recording and my system did not respond. It was as if none of the menu selections were functioning. Let me try it again with the new build this time and report back my findings.
