Scheduling future recordings on your Prism® TV DVR

There are three ways to schedule DVR recordings:
  • From the Guide Screen
  • From the Program Info Screen
  • Using manual entry

You can use the FF key to jump forward to the same time block for the next day.

Press RECORD once to schedule a single recording. A red dot will appear next to the program title to indicate a recording is scheduled.

Press RECORD twice to schedule the same show at the same day and time every week. Three red dots will indicate the series will be recorded.

To cancel the recording, press RECORD a third time. All dots will disappear.

When you're finished scheduling recordings, press EXIT TO TV to return to your last viewed channel.
