NEW YORK, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Time Warner Cable launched Remote DVR Manager for customers in the New York City area today.  Under the company's My Services online platform, this new feature located under the MyTV tab allows customers to manage their DVRs from any web-enabled computer or browser-enabled mobile device.  It enables customers to access their home DVR to record shows and series, to modify settings and to search for programming by various themes.

• Browse by genre or rating
• View TV listings for seven days with complete descriptions and cast information
• Use all recording options available (change Record, Start and End times, modify Save options)
• View all scheduled recordings
• Schedule single episode or series recordings
• Cancel or modify a scheduled recording
