530 pvr guide question - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Hi...Is it possible to select a future day/time in the 530 guide? I remember this options on my older boxes. Thanks

Depending on your remote you can use the vcr fast forward button to advance 6 hrs at a time. This will launch you into the future with a few button presses.

Press the fast forward button to move ahead 6 hours and the skip ahead button to move 1 day ahead. Use the rewind and the skip back buttons to move back 6 hours or 1 day.

Don't hit it too many times or you will quickly be in the land of "NO DATA"

Yeah, I noticed that last night when I played with the buttons.

Oh well, my life doesn't revolve around tv so much that I need to know what's on a week down the road.
