New to channels - Manual Recording possible?

@GTFan

Thanks for that hack, but I have to say that it is mind-boggling that a feature that you take for granted in every other DVR somehow has not made it into the channels client.

It's just such an obvious, basic feature. The best case that I can use is when a sports event gets delayed / rescheduled and the guide has not been updated, but there's plenty of other examples out there.

Totally agree definitely a feature that Channels DVR is lacking and other DVRs have this feature built in. Channels DVR was at one time the best DVR but I seem to be using it less and less now. It has become to gimmicky.

what are u using instead that's better?

If all you need is a Straight DVR SageTV is much better as everything Including Manual Recordings and advance recording are all done through the UI Clients not the Web Page.

Maunal Recordings on any Client ....

DVR? Heck this has been a basic feature of every video recording system dating back 40+ years, even betamax recorders you could do it. Scheduled start time/end time/channel. Basic feature. If it had a clock, it could be done.

If you get an app that lets you remote into your PC, sure.
