There are several ways to determine whether a program that is currently playing is recording.

• Press the INFO button on your remote control. The program will have a red dot beside the program if it is recording.
• Or, press GUIDE. Programs that are recording will have a red dot beside them.
  
• Or, press RECORDED TV. The Recorded TV Screen displays the title of a recorded program as soon as it begins recording, with a red dot beside the title.
  
• Look at the record light on the set-top box. If the red light is on, the PVR is recording a channel (not necessarily the program you are currently watching).
  

You can use the Guide to schedule a recording of a program that is currently showing or one that will be shown in the future.

1. Press GUIDE on your remote control.
2. Use the arrow buttons or CH/PG to highlight a program that you want to record.

While watching live TV, you can record the program you are watching until its scheduled end time, or add extra time at the end to ensure that the whole program records.

A series conflict icon (crossed-out, three overlapping red dots) in the Guide marks a series episode that was cancelled in favour of another recording. When you select a cancelled series recording in the Guide, a Program Info Screen appears.

You can handle an overridden series episode in one of these ways:

• Leave it as is.
• If you cancel the other program(not the series recording), the cancelled series episode is rescheduled for recording. The conflict icon reverts to overlapping red dots.
• Clear the conflict icon to cancel the entire series recording.

1. Press GUIDE on your remote control.
2. Use the arrow buttons or CH/PG to highlight the overridden episode, and press OK. A Program Info Screen appears.
3. To record a cancelled series episode instead of the other program(not the scheduled series), highlight Resolve Conflict, and press OK. A Conflict screen appears. Highlight the previously overridden series, and press OK. The cancelled episode will record and cancel the recording for the other program.
4. Or, to cancel a series recording, highlight Cancel Episode, and press OK. In the confirmation screen, highlight Cancel Episode, and press OK. The entire series recording is cancelled. All series conflict icons for it are cleared. This does not erase episodes that were recorded already.
