Bookmarking a show to view....

Is there a way to "select" a show ahead of time to come on at the scheduled time?

I hope I am making sense, for instance with Directv, you could go in and "check" a show, and then when it was time for that show to come on, the channel would automatically switch over to that show.  Can I do the same thing now?

Thanks

Hey rmay, if you have a DVR you can select a show ahead of time to record but we don't have the reminder option on our STBs.

That's interesting since my 2500s (SD non-DVR STB) have it!  Can't speak for the HD non-DVR STBs since I don't have one.

Go to the Guide and select a progarm, press INFO and one of the options is to set a reminder.  Would be nice if VZ employees gave the correct answer Smiley Sad

This 'reminder' feature for the DVR boxes was suggested in the share ideas forum and is already in the pipeline for the IMG 1.9 release scheduled for the end of this year or in 2011 (looks like it got pushed back to 2011).  It is correct that the non-DVR boxes have the reminder option, but the DVR boxes only have the record option instead of the reminder currently.  Here's the link to the idea and the info about the next release...

You can also manage your DVR from the FiOS TV Central page via computer.
