The 'Automatic Recorder' is used to create rules that will trig automatic recording of events. You can use this to record you favorite TV show(s), record all movies on a specific channel, etc.

It's also possible to create a recording based on a query in the EPG. For more information about that, please read the EPG chapter.

The tags are listed / edited in a grid.
