[nfbcs] Question on using DVR

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Jim.
We have DVR.  I use it the old way--writing down all the menus, and then
remembering things like "down-arrow twice, then enter, then accept."  I
use it pretty primitively.  I haven't tried to set a recording for a
specific time, for instance.  But I can use it, and I like it.

My cable company advertises that, with the big package like you've got,
one can set the DVR through the website.  You could find out if your
company does the same, and that should give you access to everything.
HTH.
