Show-based Replay Channels
You can set the Hard Disk Recorder to record a recurring show (daily or weekly) in the same time slot on the same channel. Show-based recordings should be used to create Replay Channels that contain episodes of your favorite shows. They can be created from first run network channels or from syndicated channels. If you don�t know what channel a particular show is on or want to capture all episodes regardless of what channel it is aired on, you can create a Theme-based Replay channel using the name of the show as the theme. For example, a Show-based channel created from �The X-Files� on Sunday night at 9PM will only record episodes that broadcast at or around that time on that particular channel. A Theme-based channel with the theme of �The X-Files� will record any episode of The X-Files from any channel on at any time.

Theme-based Replay Channels
If you create a Theme-based channel using the keyword �Friends,� the Hard Disk Recorder will look for and record all programs with the word �Friends� on all channels�new Friends episodes and reruns, even �Barney & Friends.� Theme-based channels can be created using any theme that you are interested in. For example, an actor, director or category name can be used. The theme you create will dictate the shows that are recorded. Theme-based channels are great for recording shows that change time slots a lot. By creating a Theme-based channel, all episodes are recorded, regardless of what time they air. (Of course, you have to have enough recording space allocated to your channel.) Show-based channels take priority over Themebased channels if there is a time conflict. Theme-based channels are lots of fun�you never know what the Hard Disk Recorder will find and record for you.
