No Auto Tune Timer?

[jahost]

Yesterday I was going to set an auto tune timer but it wasn't an option like before.

Wasn't auo-tune there so you could set a vcr to record and have the receiver auto-tune to what you wanted to record?

If it's like the 922..... Record this series, click on DVR, select, auto tune.

Exactly, I did that just this morning....

Yes, that's the way but only on the Hopper not the joeys. Joeys wont auto tune & wake up.

Is there a reason why it won't work on the Joeys?? I don't need the Hopper to wake up, but the Joey in the kids room auto tuning and waking up would be nice.

It seems there are several limitations to Joey. I wonder if the promised interface will eliminate some of the limits.

The only hardware limitation is no PIP.

I thought there's a planned software/interface/something planned between Hooper and Joey later this year?
It is a shame the Joey has no PIP.

Huh? The only things planned are 2 Hopper integration and OTA support.

Apologies, I thought I read that somewhere...perhaps the other place, or I dreamed it? sorry.

Mine do.... You have to set the auto tune for all three tuners....

Wait... Are you saying that in order for the joey in the kid's bedroom to auto tune and turn on by itself, I have to go and set an auto tune timer for all the joeys/hopper?? If that's what you saying then that makes no logical sense to me. That takes up 3 timers of which we can't already spare, and on top of that I don't want the other units to auto tune, just the Joey in that one particular room.

Wait... is the Joey turning on by itself that important?

I use the auto tune feature on previous receivers in the kids room as a pseudo alarm clock. My kids are 4 and 6 and do not take very well to an actual alarm clock. In past experience, they have woken up extremely well to an auto tuned show of Phineas & Ferb or the like. This gives them time to wake up on their own accord and get out of bed without waking the rest of the family as I am usually in the middle of a shower come time for them to wake up. So to answer your question, important: no, convenient: very much yes.

you can auto-tune. In the TVguide, find the show for the time you want to record, you can then click on the DVR option and change it to auto-tune.
