[QUOTE="dvdfreak, post: 322439, member: 21313"] I'm afraid you can't. But our API is fully documented and there is an ImportRecording() method which could be used to do this, so if someone has the necessary C# skills perhaps he or she could write a small utility for this... We could make this available on our forum so all can benefit! [b]For The Record[/b] uses the standard Windows standby system. So you could register a simple .bat file as a task that needs to run at a certain time at night and ask Windows to wake up to run it ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_Scheduler]Task Scheduler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url]). Standby is fully supported, but it's actually Windows itself which will initiate standby. [b]For The Record[/b] will make sure the system is resumed on time. The daily/weekly/etc.. schedules are much smarter than the ones in MP standard since they allow the program to start at another time. So if you schedule "Dr. House" to be recorded weekly at 21:00 it will also record just fine if it's broadcast at 20:00 or 20:30 or 21:45, etc... Also, provided your guide data offers detailed episode information or detailed descriptions you can select the "New episodes" switch which will automatically skip repeats for you, also something MP standard doesn't do. Supporting [b]For The Record[/b] in a skin is not that hard, so ask the skin author if he can help out. And as I mentioned before, we are more than happy to include any new skins in the next release so they can automatically be installed. Teletext is not supported yet, sorry. Not sure what linked channels are, but I'm afraid we don't support these yet either. [/QUOTE]
