Program Scheduling

I've just recently upgraded to the new DirecTV HD / DVR receiver.  With my previous receiver, I could through the "select" button schedule a program to come on later in the evening and it automatiocally switch over to the scheduled program at the appointed time.  Now when I use the  "select" button, it record the show but that show won't come on automatically.  What am I doing wrong?

Nothing.  DVRs do not have the "Autotune" feature.  Only Receivers have that feature.  I guess DirecTV figures that DVRs should record stuff, not just tune to a channel at a specific time.
