quite easy??? How easy do you want it? It's only scrolling to the programme that you want, pressing the red button, and that's it - the programme will record.

Not being able to quickly add a few minutes to the end of a timed recording is a slight nuisance but forgiveable. What I'd like to know is if there's a quick way to jump a week or a few hours ahead. I can only navigate an hour or a day at a time.
(1) Press the "Guide" button and you're taken to the GUIDE Plus+ "Home" page
(2) Scroll down to the channel you want
(3) Press the "right arrow" to move along the channel time-wise. The more you press the right arrow, the later the time goes, ie, if it's 15.30 now and you want to set the timer for a programme starting at 20.00, just keep pressing the right arrow until you get there.
(4) When you've got to the programme you want to record, press the red button (and you can stop there if you want to, the programme will record with just that information - otherwise continue to 5)).
(5) If you want to add, say, 10 minutes to the recording in case it's running late, press the green button to go to the "Schedule" screen. On the left will be the name of the programme and on the right will be the current settings for Quality, Frequency and Destination
(6) Using the right arrow again, scroll to the right to find Timing and Genre and use the green button to add +10, +20, +30 or VPS/PDC

You can't jump a week ahead in one go but using the double-right arrow (fast forward) will take you one day ahead - just press it 7 times
