DIGIT 38 Modify the Series Priority List To help you manage which series get recorded when there are scheduling conflicts, your DVR automatically creates a Series Priority List. The first series you set to record has the highest priority and is the program recorded in case of a conflict. If there are no conflicts, each additional series you set to record is added to the bottom of the list. You can easily change the recording priority of the programs so that the programs of your choice are recorded in case of a conflict. • Select DVR from the Main Menu or Quick Menu. • Choose Series Priority. • Highlight a program and use the Page +/- buttons on your remote to modify its priorities.

Note: If you want to record two series recordings instead of an individual recording that airs at the same time, you must delete the individual recording from the Scheduled Recordings List (See Cancel a Scheduled Recording section).

I have a message on the screen that says “This channel should be available shortly.”What does this mean? A. This screen will appear when you tune to a channel that is currently not available. If the channel is not available after 15-30 minutes, call your cable company. Q.What do I do if I am stuck in a screen or menu I do not understand and want to get out? A. You can always press the EXIT button to immediately return to watching TV.You can also press the LAST button to back up one screen at a time. Q.The displayed listing information or pricing information is incorrect. A. Although i-Guide checks all data thoroughly before it is sent to your home, programmers do sometimes change their schedules at the last minute without letting us know. Please report erroneous data to your cable company. Q.What happens to my DVR recordings if my digital cable box temporarily loses power? A. All recordings that were saved prior to the power loss are preserved, as well as future recording schedules.You miss only the recordings scheduled to be recorded while the power was out.
