Prompt Subscribers to Order the VCR Commander Service
Introduction
The Order VCR Commander Barker option lets you display a VCR Commander
barker under the following conditions:
•
•
When a subscriber tries to record a program on the set-top without setting up a
VCR Commander service
•
When the subscriber does not have authorization for a VCR Commander service
The VCR Commander barker does not prevent recording. Instead, the barker
informs subscribers that they can order a VCR Commander service. It also instructs
subscribers to start the VCR recording manually and explains where to tune the
VCR.
Note: Because the VCR Commander service is not required to record programs on
Note: Because the VCR Commander service is not required to record programs on
the DVR, this service is not supported on DVR equipped Explorer set-tops.
Recommended Setting
Enable this option to display the barker.
