Manage Autotunes using H24-500

Is there a way to use the "Manage Autotunes" command when using a H24-500 receiver?

Are you having touble using your Autotune? As that is a feature of non-DVRs, it sounds like you are asking if there is a way to use a feature that your box has.

Now if that were an HR24, then it doesn't have Autotune as it has DVR instead.

OK thanks, Sorry typo, it is a HR24. No Autotune problem. I was just hoping I had missed it and there was some other way to program the HR24 it so that it switched to a program the same way the H24-100 does.

Yes, you set it to record and it will change the unused tuner to it when it starts.

Your HR24 does not have Autotune since it is a DVR.

If you have a recording already going and a 2nd one starts, since it has 2 tuners then the one not recording will change channels of course to the one it needs. If you are watching TV it will give a warning in case you decide not to record and stay on the current channel.

But just to change channels, you do that with the remote.
