Thread: Can the primetime anytime feature be set to autosave shows?

I know that you can tell it to save shows you don't want deleted after 8 days but can you set certain shows to autosave?

nobody knows yet. seems pretty useless without it though.

It sounded like it would happen based on previous posts on the forum. Just not ready at launch and would be coming later on.

There's no technical reason for them not to do it since it's just programming.

Agreed. This should be a BONEHEAD for sure feature as combing though all the PTA to individually save each episode each week would drive people so insane as to even cancel service and go to the competition.

This is what software updates are for. After a bunch of updates the Hopper will be great.

Sounds like its going to be pretty damn good right out of the gate.

If you set a series timer for a show that's covered by PTAT, it will remain on your Hopper past the 8-day window. I specifically asked them about this @ CES.

So, if I'm understanding this right, if I set a timer for a PTAT show, the timer won't use an additional tuner to record the show outside of the PTAT tuner?

At the moment the answer is NO. However I am told that this is a feature that will be added shortly after release.
