Record using time only in NextPVR, not TV Guide

[TomW]

I have an old cable box outputting an analog signal to my WinTV-HVR-1265 (so everything looks like it's on channel 4). I don't have an IR Blaster, so I must control my cable box manually.
I don't see a way to tell NextPVR to record a show on analog channel 4, at a time of my choice, and give it a name of my choice, independently of the TV Guide listings. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance.

You can setup your NVR1265 as described at ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...etupDialog ... and leave the channel changer field empty.

You can add each channel that comes in via the "old cable box" with a "fixed channel" of 4. NextPVR will record (or play Live TV) from channel 4 on the HVR-1265 as required. It will be up to you to control the signal that is received by the HVR-1265 by changing channels on the cable box.

If you can find software that will do what you want ... you can use ParallelProcessing.bat to send, for example, an email as each recording starts to remind you to change channels ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...BatchFiles

Plus, if you post a request for assistance ... somebody will tell you about an inexpensive and easy way to get an IR blaster working.
