At-Large Recorder 2.3 Helpful Hints

When you hear:

Start Recording At edit box - this is the field to enter either the minutes or hours for your recording. If you tab over one more time you land on the combo box which has either the minutes or hours choices.

Duration of Recording edit box is where you enter the channel number you want to record.

I explain the above because JAWS 8 does not read the above correctly. I used trial and error to figure what the above edit boxes do.

After you have setup your recording schedule you will be back on main interface of At-Large Recorder. If you do a insert+3 numpad keyboard command with JAWS 8 you will hear the status bar data read out like this:

Date & Start Time for Recording to begin

At-Large Recorder 2.3 Help button

The help button now works with the spacebar. Tells you the version number you have.

Media Catcher 2 tips

To activate the RECORD function do:

1. Press your ALT keyboard key
2. Press your right arrow key 1 time
3. Down arrow to Start recording
4. Press your ENTER key

To record your content go to the web and start that content like youtube.com videos.

You do not have to play the entire video stream to get the stream recorded by Media Catcher.

Play the stream for 10 seconds then stop the stream then go to your next stream and repeat the process.

To stop the Media Catcher recording function do:

1. Press your ALT keyboard key
2. Press your right arrow key one time
3. Down arrow to Stop Recording
4. Press ENTER key

Your recordings will appear in the listbox.

JAWS 8 users:

the - button is the minimize button but alt+m works.

The X button is the close button but alt+F4 works.

When your video stream has been fully converted you will hear a nice audio sound. This is a nice feature to me.

The above are my experiences with Replay Media Catcher 2 pproduct.

I tested all this on a Windows XP Home computer using JAWS 8. Applian fixed the prodcut key registration in less then 24 hours after I told them about it.

SlingMedia makes the SlingBox device. I use the SlingBox Classic.
