• Day: Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to
choose a day. One Time recordings will
let you select Today or a date up to one

Every Day, Monday–Friday, Saturday &
Sunday.
• Start Time: Select a time to begin your
recording, using the UP and DOWN
arrows or number buttons on the
remote to input hours and minutes.
Press SELECT to confirm the correct
start time.
• End Time: Select a time to end your recording, using the UP and DOWN arrows or number buttons on the
remote to input hours and minutes. Press SELECT to confirm the correct end time.
• Until: To keep the hard drive from filling up, which would prevent you from recording other shows, you can
set programs to delete when Space Is Needed (default) or I Watch any portion of the program. The Keep
Until I Delete option permanently saves the recording on your DVR, locking up hard drive space, until you
manually delete it.
• Record To: The latest software upgrade from Cox now supports multiple DVRs that may be added to your
Whole Home DVR service. If you rent multiple DVRs for your Whole Home DVR service, then you will see the
Record To option. This option will allow you to select a DVR where the recording will be scheduled. For more
information on this useful service from Cox, see Chapter 9: Whole Home DVR.

Notes About Manual Recordings
In Scheduled Recordings, the title of an individual manual recording appears as “Untitled Recording” until recording
starts. At the time recording begins, the program title will appear. In the event the requested recording program
precisely matches the start time and end time of a specific program, the program title will appear in Scheduled
Recordings. In Recorded Programs or Scheduled Recordings, the title assigned to an individual manual recording that
spans multiple programs is the title of the first complete program in the block. If no program in the block is complete,
the assigned title is the title of the program that takes up the greatest amount of space in the recording block.
In the Series Manager, the title of a recurring manual recording appears as “Untitled Recording” unless the scheduled
recording time happens to precisely match a program, in which case the program title will appear.
In the event of a conflict, manual recordings have a higher priority than series recordings but have the same priority as
single instance recordings. A Recording Conflict alert will appear in the event of a conflict between single recordings
and manual recordings.
