Autotune using DVR

With my old receiver, I could autotune to a program by selecting it from the program guide.  With the new DVR, this action gets me to a Record menu.  If I don't want to record, just jump to the program when it comes on, what do I do?

DVR's don't have auto tune.  sorry.  is presumed that whoever gets a DVR would got one to time shift their TV watching.  so why not just let the DVR do its work.  and when it records your show, you can just play it back form the list.

OK, thanks for letting me know.  We usually do time-shift, but there are occasions where we'd just like to autotune instead.

when you want to do auto tune, just watch something that you recorded before.  Hard core DVR's users like myself would never watch live TV.
