Background recorder questions

[Koala Kid]

I have searched the forums but cannot find answers to these questions.

1. does the background recorder run every time windows starts after I have ticked the "enable" box

2. I have set a weekly recording of a TV program every Wednesday at 9pm, does the background recorder automatically record the program if I do not start NPVR beforehand.

3. if the background recorder program runs every time windows starts, what is the name of it so I can see it in the windows task manager process list.

:confused:

NRecord.exe (or if you are running Vista/Win7, it is also in the Services tab as "NPVR Recording Service").

Edit: Too slow.
