Record Entire Show?

[winshawn]

Sometimes I start watching a show and then after 10 minutes I decide that I want to record it. However, when I hit the "record" button it only records the rest of the show. How do I get it to put the 10 minutes that I have already watched as well as the rest of the show on the DVR.

From the owner's manual:

If you’ve watched a program from its start, up to about one
hour after it’s started, you can reverse to its start:

1. Press the BACK button.
2. Let the program reverse to its start.
3. Press the RECORD button. You’ll get all of the program on your recording.

Note: If you don’t tune to a program until after it starts, you can record only the part of the program that comes after you tune to it.

I've got no clue about "every other DVR", but I understand this is a User Interface issue. Some will like it one way, some the other. At least some (all?) of the E* DVRs have a "Record Entire Event" OPTION.

When you hit record, choose "Options" and then "Record Entire Event".
