ShowView programming lets you set the
video recorder to record programmes, by
simply entering a ShowView Code. These
ShowView Codes are published in TV listings
in almost all newspapers and TV Guides.
They can vary from one to nine digits and are
usually with the programme name as shown
in the sample page of a TV Guide.
The ShowView Codes contain all the
information needed by the video recorder
(programme start and stop date and time and
programme number). It is easy to alter the
information programmed into the video
recorder by a ShowView Code if you wish to
do so. For example you may wish to extend
the stop time in case the programme is
running late.
