English term
schedule
Does 'schedule' mean to select which TV shows the DVR will record, or does it mean to view a list of recorded TV shows so that you can select which recorded TV shows to play?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

The asker's two options actually cover the two verbs in the text.
Schedule = "select which TV shows the DVR will record."
Watch = "view a list of recorded TV shows so that you can select which recorded TV shows to play."

: And given that it is paired with 'watch', this certainly makes the most sense here.

Thanks, Sharon. I don't know--to me, "watch" comes later; see the comment that I will add to my answer in a moment.

You 'schedule' your recordings so that they will take place at the right time and on the right channel; then later, you can come back and watch what you have recorded.
