H3: Time based timer - how?

[alokep]

I want to set time-based timers on my H3. Just like we used to on old programmable VCR's way back when!

Eg., record a specified channel on the specified days of the week at a specified time for a specified duration. Regardless of what the Guide says.

Reason: The guide info is often incorrect for international channels. If I set a timer the traditional way, and the program name gets changed for that time at the last minute, the recording does not take place. That's because the system thinks that I am trying to record a specific program by name at that time. If the guide gets updated before the recording, the system skips that recording.

Thanks.

From the Timers List press 'Options' and select 'Create a Timer'.

Wow! I had been looking for that since forever.
Was this there in the older HWSling?

Thanks!

Yes, it is in the HWS old CUI in the Timer's list. Green button called Manual Timer.
