programming: Does this model program channels to automatically switch so you can set timer recordings?

I just bought this item from a local store. It does not have a programmable timer option. It only has a sleep timer and an auto shutoff timer, but not for changing the channels.

Yes, for the most part...you can put in a manual mode but the standard for "start" and changing records automatically or rejecting a record is automatic. Make sure the dial is set for the proper size record...45 or 33...Ron

Yes follow the new program guide too set the timer and set your tuner for the channel

This may be a dumb question, but....since this unit uses a 24 hour clock are you maybe setting the time wrong? Such as setting a show that starts at 8 PM to start at 0800 instead of 2000? My unit turns itself on and records my scheduled programs and turns itself off until the next scheduled program.

I don't believe so. They have a variety of progressions that you can select with the remote including the timing of the transition but I do not believe that they can change based on any other input other than manually using the remote.

Yes. I don't have the full list of key commands in front of me but there is a pretty robust set of hotkeys that can switch the K/M, video, audio or all at the same time. See my review for details.

Yes it will give you a short list of the showing coming up. Scroll down and select the ones you want to record. The menu covers about 6 hours or so but you can program it to record days in advance. I look up my local TV stations programming on the internet to set that.

Yes, it is actually set up to do it automatically but you can customize the time etc from the web gui.

Hi:Hi:Yes, the process is automatic, in any case there are several options on the recording mode, the default is to overwrite. I hope this information will help ..Regards

I don't know since I haven't read all the instructions for recording programs. On a former product, there were two tuners so I could watch a program while recording another channel, or record both channels, but not watch or record a third .

I have set the timer programming on the recorder, turned the recorder off, then switched back to the television and watched a different channel. So, I know it works using that method.

Yes, it has 3 modes. Automatic, Manual and Random. Automatic uses the program you´ve setup, Manual is the override your asking about, and random just activates randomly. Another thing I think its important to note, is that the timers I bought all have 9 programable memories, eventhough the seller just states multiple on/off on a 7 day period

This device has 9 setpoints for on/off times, but it will not automatically vary the time. You may want to get 2 or 3 for different rooms, all set for different times. I love mine, you dont have to hard wire it, very easy to program, dependable, and well worth the price. Highly recommend it.

Yes - and just try to set this device for just one program! 2 stations, one program. Not possible. Not explained. Threw this thing in the garbage.

Unfortunately no. You'd have to set it every three hours, it cannot be programmed to do more than 1 setting at a time.

I have two cameras. You can set it up to automatically switch if you like or change it manually.

You do not have to turn the power off before the scheduled program time comes. The machine will tell you it's going to change channels a few minutes before the recording starts. Also there is a M-F record setting and also a M-Saturday setting for record.
