Auto timer question

[Andyg1988]

Don't no if it's a plugin I need... On my epg on vu solo 2. I'm using auto timer to record program for later on tonite... Where can I view the list of future records. Fore example on my sky hd box it would say recording top gear at 8pm on Sunday?

On live TV, no other menus/screens open.
Short green press = Timer overview
Long green press = AutoTimers

Maybe worth having a look at the help button.

What's the difference between zap and record? Plus tried using the normal timer plugin and it had a option in for repeating weekly so what difference with timer and autotimer?

[abu baniaz]

Record = Will record in background if possible. Otherwise will zap if recordings set to have priority.

Zap & record = Will zap channel and also record.

Zap = Zap to channel, do not record.

[Andyg1988]

so logic tells me if zap is selected it will show channel and record it

No. It will change from whatever channel you are watching to the channel you have selected. Think of it as a reminder - if, say, you want to watch live Darts, then the ZAP timer will switch to that channel when the Darts start.
ZAP = view channel (zap to channel 1. )

Have you rescanned ITV recently?

[Andyg1988]

Only just got the box this week. There a guide or tutorial for this ?

Have a look at the relevant guides on http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php?dir=Guides%20and%20Tutorials/
The ABM one might help here.

If you added the auto-timer before ITV changed frequency, it wouldn't have recorded.
Delete the auto & any timers it set, rescan ABM.
Check you have a working ITV & then re-add the auto-timer.

[Andyg1988]

Abm rescan every morning.. I'm using the normal timer but finishing each morning 1min early so there isn't any clashes

[Rob van der Does]

If a channel has changed frequency, the corresponding (auto-)timers will have to be deleted and setup again on the new channel.

What if channel is not specified?

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

[Andyg1988]

An issue I've found is... If 2 programs are recording from 9pm Til 10pm then I have 2 programs that start at 10pm Til 11pm. They conflict is there something i can change as a default for the program to finish 1min early for example 9pm-9.59pm

[Rob van der Does]

Whenever you set a timer, a screen pops up in which you can set the timer-times.
Whenever a conflict pops up, you can make amendments to any of the conflicting ti,ers
Whenever you set an AT, you can set dedicated +/- times.
