Create recurring timed recording?

[MickBurke]

I just realized (in week 14!!) that I now have access to NFL RedZone with my FIOS package. Problem is, there' is no program info in the guide for redzone, so the only way I can figure to record the 1pm to 8:00 ish activity on redzone would be to do a timed recording. But there I see no way to say 'record Channel 835 EVERY sunday from 1-8pm', rather than just record 935 THIS sunday from1-8.

Any option here that I'm missing??

Thanks for any input!

You start the process by going to TV > Scheduled Recordings > Create Timed Recording. Make sure to press the right arrow once you set the channel and time to get to the recurrence section.

From page 77 of the SageTV v7 manual.

Create Timed Recording
Timed recordings will record during the time period you specify, regardless of what the EPG says is airing at that time. You will need to specify a channel, start time, and stop time for the recording.

Channel Selection
To select the channel for the recording, use the Up, Down, Page Up, and Page Down commands to scroll through the list. After highlighting the desired channel, use the Right arrow to select the channel and proceed to selecting the start time. Mouse: Click on the and icons to scroll with the mouse. Left-click on the desired channel.

Start and Stop Time
After choosing the channel, choose the recording’s start and stop times. Use the Up and Down commands to adjust the date, hour, minute, and AM/PM settings. After setting each option, continue to the next field by using the Right arrow. After setting all fields, use the Right arrow to continue to the next screen, where you will select the Recurrence option. Mouse: Point to each field and adjusting the values by clicking on the and icons, which will appear. When done, click on the far right icon to continue to the Recurrence menu:

Recurrence
Choose how often this timed recording should be scheduled:
Once – The recording will be scheduled one time only.
Daily – The recording will be scheduled to occur at the same time every day.
Weekly (Specify Days) – A pop-up menu will appear, where you can choose which days of the
week to schedule the timed recording. Select each day when the recording should occur, then select Done.
Weekly – The recording will be scheduled on the same day and at the same time every week.

Thanks Will, I never got past that first screen for fear I'd mess something up, so I never saw the recurrence page. Got it all set now. Thanks again!

There is also a plugin that allows you to give a name to your timed recordings. So it shows up in your recordings as something other than "Timed Recording". You could name it "NFL Redzone 1-8pm", or something that has meaning.
I think it is called Name Timed Recording, or something like that. It is under the UI Mod section of the plugin repository in your Setup menu.

Great info, thanks!
