Recording Software for TV tuners - Automatic Recording

Automatic recording lets you record all episodes of your favourite programmes or shows by your favourite stars. A title and description are added to the recordings automatically.

Imaging PVR will wake up the computer from hibernate / sleep or standby to record the programmes for you. If you are not using the computer, it will return the computer hibernate / sleep / standby.

This will work for Freeview, Freesat and most satellite TV with no Internet required to download programme information.

There are 4 ways to set programmes to record automatically.

If you don't see any programmes, select a channel and watch TV live for a minute or two.

Click on programmes you want to record then select the 'Add' button to add them to My Programmes.

Select programmes from the complete programme list in the second left column. Filter by: new programmes, primetime, stars, actors, directors, producers or keywords.

Fine tune this process by searching by category, channel or date range. Move programmes up and down the priority queue so that if programmes clash, the higher priority programme will be recorded. Imaging PVR avoids duplicate recordings and can be set to have no repeats of the same programme for various time periods, or ever.
