Here's one way: After you've scheduled the progrma to record, go into its Edit
Recording Rule screen. From there, hit MENU (typically the M key) and choose Use
Template. That should bring up a list of the recording rule templates you've
defined.

To go into a program's Edit Recording Rule screen, first select it in the Guide
or in the Upcoming Recordings screen, and then hit SELECT (typically the Enter
key). You should see "Edit recording rule" in the menu that appears.
