To start a Live TV session, right-click on any channel in the Program Guide and select Watch Live TV.


 

 Use the drop-down to select a different channel for Live TV.


Note: You can only start a Live TV session if there is at least one tuner available on your system that is not currently being used for recordings. If no tuners are available, you will see a message prompting you to start watching one of the in-progress recordings:

 

Select a recording to start watching it live, or to cancel one of the in-progress recordings, click Stop a Recording


Information about the current program is available in the About tab.

 

Record this episode: Schedule only this episode for recording
Record all episodes: Schedules all episodes for recording
Record all new episodes: Schedules recordings of only episodes marked as New in the Program Guide
