In System Info /Display/ there is supposed to be an option to turn on/off Recording Tips.

P.S. Don't have a camera.

I searched my entire menu. I do not see an option for modifying the Recording Tips.

And, I think is important to note that Michael's screenshot shows everything that is available...it is not possible to scroll down beyond "GUIDE shows" to get more options.

I have a question to piggy back on this thread...

I thought I read somewhere that you cannot keep more than 5 episodes of any one show.

Is that true, or was I just not reading something correctly?

That is not true. It should be possible to have hundreds of episodes.

If you set a series link and take no other action, it will record five episodes, then it will delete the oldest as it records the newest, so that you will have the five most recent shows. That may be what you read.

Thanks. So, you can still have it keep all episodes of a particular show. Cool. I thought that was kind of strange anyway.

I think I'm really going to miss the way TiVo does it thou, where it will create a folder and store all the episodes of that show, in the one folder. Love that feature.

It does work that way.

You mean D*'s DVR service also uses the folder system?

Sorry, probably shouldn't have posted those two things in the same message, they weren't really meant to go together.

I have manually set a "keep" on an episode of a series link, and my DVR kept it and continued the rolling 5 regular recordings. I have not tried manually keeping an entire season or anything like that.

Yep. Series and mini-series episodes are grouped together inside folders. If for some odd reason you record the same movie twice, the recordings also go into folders (and yes, I've done that on my R22-200 )

I was referring to use of folders. I've also recorded dozens of episodes of some series in the past by accident on one of my R15's, by setting it to record "All" episodes of a show that runs several times a day in syndication and then forgetting to prune the list for a couple weeks. Oops.

Sweet!! Well I guess my only other minor issue with "DVR vs TiVo" then, will be the not keeping a buffer for two channels at once, unless you're recording both channels of course. But I can work around that.

Man I really can't wait to get home, hook that thing up, and start "playing". Only an hour and a half of work left.
