Recurring

Paul D. Bellamy · 2009-08-19, 03:12 PM

Sorry for this simple question, but I've gotten blind, I guess.

How do I turn a "one time only" recording of a program into a "recurring" recording of a program? I've tried everything I can think of, but I can no longer accomplish this. (I have done it before, but can't remember how).

I can't find the answer in the manual, either.

Thanks for any help. BTW, I have Win XP and 1.03.11.

Select Record (Quick Record), then on the one time only line, hit your right arrow. It changes to recurring.

Funny you should mention this - but my version doesn't do this: you hit the right arrow or key or whatever of a one-off scheduled recording, and nothing happens. I've had to go back and find the programme on the listings and re-enter the recording as a recurring programme. Every time.

You cant change the type of a recording after its created. ie, you cant change a one-off recording into a season recording. You'd have to delete it and recreate it.

Oops. I didn't realize he was asking how to change the recording schedule after it had been entered as a one-time-only. I thought he was asking how to set up the original recurring schedule.

Sub, is there a reason why this cannot be made to work? It seems I do it frequently: I record a programme and realise it's worth watching more episodes, so want to convert a one-off to a season....

I'd like this, too. Also, I'd like to ask sub if it helps to have requests like this put into the Wishlist area - or do you keep a separate list of possible features to add?

Sorry, its not as easy as it sounds. Maybe in a future release though.

Gentlemen,

Thanks for all your comments. These have answered my questions.
