**DISCOVER:**

The DISCOVER tab breaks down into four views/filters:
  * **NOW -** Shows programs that are currently live on TV. Scrolling down will view more programs that are live. Scrolling to the right will bring up additional programs (24 hours for normal users, 14 days for [[:DVR]] subscribers).
  * **Shows -** Filters to just TV shows.
  * **Movies -** Filters to just movies.
  * **Sports -** Filters to just sporting events.

Users can also use the search box to look for specific programs.

Selecting a program will bring up information for that program, where they can switch to that program (if live) or set a recording.

Scrolling to the right in the **NOW** view will bring up additional programs (24 hours for normal users, 14 days for [[:DVR]] subscribers). 

Scrolling down will show more programs for that time slot.

**Episode view:**

When viewing a TV show, news program, or sports with multiple entries, then you will see a list view below the program summary. On the left-hand side you will see a selection by season or year, which also includes "Upcoming" and "Recent" sorting options:

  * **Upcoming -** live and future airings of that program.

  * **Recent -** most recent recordings, sorted by newest, for that program.

Selecting/clicking a program will play that program. Pressing the right arrow on a remote control, or clicking the right arrow icon on the ride-hand side of that row, will show additional options for that recording:

  * If the selected program will air in the future, you will also see time, date, and channel number for those future airings. Selecting those airings can set up a one-off recording.

  * **Auto-record -** will open the [[:app:recording|series recording options]]

  * **Watch from start -** will start the recording from the beginning (in the case the the program was already being watched).

  * **Delete recording -** will delete that specific recording from the DVR storage device.

**Deleting a recording:**

Pressing to the right of a row will open a menu of actions to take on that recording. Select delete and this will present three options:

{{ :app:recording_delete_or_rerecord_2_b.png?direct&300|}}
  * **Delete -** will confirm the deletion and permanently delete the recording from your DVR storage.
  * **Re-record -** will re-record a specific movie or episode at a later time if you still have a recording task for that program. Useful in case a given recording had an issue, such as if a programming error occurred or a storm had caused reception issues.
  * **Cancel -** will back out of the deletion process.

<WRAP alert>If you delete the actual file off of your DVR storage, instead of deleting the recording through the HDHomeRun app, it will behave like the "Re-record" option.</WRAP>

**Recording status marks:**

If you have a DVR subscription and are using the recording features, the following marks will appear on upcoming programming details:

  * Red dot - will record
  * Gray dot - second showing of something scheduled to record. If the red dot channel fails at the time of recording, a gray dot channel can be used as a "backup".
  * Green tick - already recorded and exists on the DVR
  * Gray tick - recorded and deleted, which tells the DVR to not re-record, unless the individual episode is selected for recording. This "don't re-record" history can be reset by asking the support team: [[:Support ticket]]

**EDITOR NOTE (only people who can edit the wiki will see this message):**\\
The recording status marks are documented on multiple pages, please update all of them when making changes: app:tasks, app:discover
