❖ Planner

Your Planner helps you plan all your TV viewing. It shows:

◆ all the programmes you have recorded, and tells you whether or not you have watched them;

◆

◆ all the programmes you have set your box to record in the future; all the programmes for which you have set a reminder.

It also allows you to select programmes to ‘Keep’. You need to enter your PIN code before you can delete a Kept programme.

Whenever you record a programme, choose a programme to record later, or set a reminder, it is automatically added to your Planner (unless there is a clash - see pages 34 and 35).

◆ To view your Planner, press PLANNER on your remote control.
