That means that only Rogue Valley Manor residents, and some senior RVM Administration members, are permitted to subscribe to and use this communication vehicle. Those outside our community are not able to post or read messages. Residents Council is enthusiastic about the creation of this resident email group. Of course it should not be used for mention or discussion of private administration, advisory council or residents council business matters. Please abide by this rule. Other netiquette rules are that there be no commercial advertising and no discussion of politics or religion, and only polite, civil communications will be allowed. Remember, anything you send to the resident email group will be seen by all of its members. The email group, also known as the rvmlist Mail Group, was created by residents Skip Ross and Nils Nilsson, with much help and encouragement from their wives, Janet Ross and Grace Abbott.

Tutorial: Using the Spectrum TV Remote Control Most RVM residents use Spectrum cable as their TV provider, because of RVM’s contract. The Spectrum Set Top Box (cable box) that receives the TV signal is controlled via a remote control. The most common remote is silver colored. It controls both the basic TV functions and, for DVR users, the digital recording functions. As a result, it has many buttons, and can be daunting. Clicking on the TV icon will bring up a fairly simple tutorial on how to use this remote. If your remote is different, the functions probably have the same names, but may be located differently. Tutorial: Using the Spectrum TV DVR Feature An extra cost feature available to Spectrum TV customers is Digital Video Recording (DVR). This feature allows recording of TV programs. This can be used to record programs for later viewing and, handily, to skip over commercials in a recording. The controls for DVR are on the smae remote as is used for watching TV. Spectrum has two DVR setups. This tutorial is for the newer one, which most long time Spectrum users do not yet have. Return to top of...
