Why isn't there an option to record future shows using the HD box linked to a Multi room DVR setup?

I have a multi room DVR in my livingroom and HD boxes in my 2 bedrooms. Currently if you are viewing a program on one of the HD boxes you are able to record the live program you are viewing as the HD box will enable your DVR to record that show.

Why hasn't FIOS enabled the settop boxes that are part of a multi room DVR setup to be able to record future shows? Needless to say, if I am lying in bed at night and see something in the program guide airing at a future date I really don't want to get out of bed and walk to the living room, turn on the TV and DVR and then program that new recording.

If I have missed something and you can do this please let me know. Otherwise FIOS should add this to their customer's wish list and enable recording for future times on the HD boxes that are part of your multi room DVR system!

You can already do that.  Highlight the show in the guide and press the record button.  You should get a pop up with the option to Set Reminder or Record on your DVR.   If it doesn't check your DVR to ensure that availability is extended to the STB you are using.

Thanks, I will check it out tonight when I get home. I never thought to look at the program guide. I was clicking the info tab and scrolling down to future shows for the program I was tuned to. The only option was to leave a bookmark type reminder and not to record.

They don't make it easy to setup recordings from the remote boxes. case in point, when you click on the info button and then go to upcoming shows you should be able to record them. On the remote boxes you can only set a reminder. When you do this on the DVR all you have to do is press the record option when you highlight an upcoming show!!!

The way you have to do it now  takes extra time and makes no sense!!! Smiley Frustrated
