Ray! You have made a big difference in my life! This is truly awesome to 
know. I have also figured out the record button is the small indented button 
to the left of play pause stop. If you're watching a show you can just hit 
record and it will start recording. My sighted friend said that if you are 
on a channel and you know u want to record the next program press the right 
arrow once and hit record. The next program on the schedule from that 
channel will be recorded.
I've also noticed sometimes series will be in a folder which an be tricky. 
For example, when I recorded the show "yes dear" instead of putting in to a 
series folder each episode was listed. However when I record the show 
"jeopardy" it puts it all in a folder so you have to go 2 levels to select a 
show.
Anyway if u have any other tips or things I should know about u-verse in 
general please pass it along. I know I said this yesterday but last night it 
was so awesome to be able to start recording a show and watching it at my 
own convenience, like a real boy!!!
