How to schedule record between 2 times, without having to use TV guide

[AlexZ53]

Hi.

My TV guide never has any info, probably because of the region I live in (Gibraltar). I would like to be able to schedule a recording by simply choosing a channel, a date/time to start and a date/time to stop recording.

I used to do it like that in GB-PVR many moons ago, but now I cant find out how to do it in NPVR. The only way to schedule a recording seemed to be to choose a single programme in the TV Guide.

Any help would be appreciated!

And while I'm at it, thanks for such a good piece of free software. The stuff that comes with TV cards is always unstable and horrendous. I'm not sure why TV card manufacturers undermine their own products by failing on the software all the time. And unfortunately Windows Media Center also fails with many cards.

If you go to the recordings screen in the hidden top menu (mouse to top or info/more /home key on remote) you will find the manual recording screen where you can schedule to your hearts content

In Recordings screen, you can access the hidden menu, either by using the Home keyboard key or moving the mouse to the top of the screen, choose Man-Rec. There you can set start/stop time and channel, show title etc.

But isn't it amazing, in other forums people hardly bother to answer, while here it is almost a competition to be the first to help

Since I wrote that part of the wiki back in October 2010 I reckon I win that one.

I'm not so sure about that since he did not read it , Lao Pan can most likely claim it
