Hallmark Movies ❤️ comfort & joy

The funniest part of all this for me, my genre of choice is horror. The scarier and darker, the better. These are against everything I like in a film, and yet I am addicted.

My puppy loves horror movies.

Thank you Imzadi for posting the list! Hallmark channel online does not have an easy way of looking at the week ahead because there's always an automatic clip of something playing when you choose a day. Much easier to see the list all at the same time. I didn't know it even was possible to record two different things at the same time? What I did last Friday for example is DVR-ed Sale of the Century on BuzzR from 4:30-5. Once that was over, I changed the channel to Lifetime, found the "guide" for that channel and was able to DVR "A Very Vintage Christmas." Even though I started late, it recorded mostly the entire movie save the last few minutes. That is a very handy thing to be able to do!

Do you know you can record things up to two weeks in advance?

Click the "Guide" button on the far left. There are up & down arrows around the big button in the center. Depending on your remote, it may be called "Select."

Do NOT use the regular channel up & down buttons. They just boot you out of the Guide and change to a real channel.

The left & right buttons on either side of the Select button change the time.

To get to a different DAY, there are two buttons marked Day. They only work when the Guide is on screen. So they are tricky and often overlooked because of that. You think they don't really do anything otherwise. Hit the DAY with the right arrow for the future. If you accidentally go past the day, use the Day with the left arrow to go back a day or so.

Again, use the arrow buttons around the big Select button to move around. Also, if you have channels set in your Favorites button, you can change channels that way.

Also: If you are on a specific time to record a show, say, Hallmark 8pm Sat, but you also want to record two other things too, (HMM & Lifetime,) click the "Info" button on the show you want to change. On the left side of the screen, if you scroll down, it will say "All Airtimes." Click that, then right arrow over and down to a different airtime that you want. (It usually lists 2 weeks in advance.)

If you hit the red Record button, it will record that time the way it is, without any changes. Simple. (If you accidentally choose a wrong time or change your mind, just hit the red Record button again. It will ask for confirmation, and KEEP you on the same page to choose again.)

If it's a Lifetime movie, where you want to add on a minute to the end, chick the SELECT button instead, then the Record tab on the left side of the screen. (Or the "Record Show") whichever screen pops up. Then you will be in the screen to adjust the end time.

Here is a web page with tips on How to Watch the Hallmark Channel Without Cable for "cord cutters."

Mentioned early in the thread there is a Friendly streaming app, too.

Thanks. That should work for me too. I’m too lazy to watch stuff when it airs.

When I got home from work my 10 yo son informed me that he was going to play video games, so there would be no Hallmark movies for a few hours. If I needed to watch them then I could visit Uma and Umpa (grandparents) . He then followed up by saying that he enjoys watching Hallmark Movies and Mysteries with Umpa.

Time to buy him a super tiny TV and say: when I grew up, we had to squint to see the characters in our video games.

Last year I actually kept a list in a notebook and rated them. (It’s probably mixed channel-wise. I don’t necessarily lean toward one over the others.) I’m outside on my phone right now, but I’ll try to remember to come back and post a pic later.

Here it is:

Ok...I think i need to do this. LOL

I powered through the 4 new movies from the weekend yesterday and this morning. Loved Jingle Bell Bride and Deliver by Christmas(really liked this one). Chateau Christmas was alright but I didn't care for Christmas Tree Lane because I don't really like the lead...she kinda annoys me.

I have 5 page list on my computer (by year) of the movies. All different channels, including some of the regular broadcast channels). I put the date of original airing, and give it a letter grade. Makes it a bit easier to figure out what I want to watch, if there's a conflict between movies.

@PollyannaMom that is some true dedication right there!

I made it 15 minutes into Chateau Christmas, and I turned it off. It was so bad. I ended up watching A Princess for Christmas on Netflix, which I recommend. It's really good.

I'll check out Jingle Bell Bride tonight.

If you guys like the TV show the Flash, check out the two Snow movies. Those are great. Tom Cavanagh is a great actor. Check him out in Darrow and Darrow too.

Are you talking about the one from 2011 with Katie McGrath? If so I really liked that one, saw it several years ago and it's one of the ones my husband really enjoys too. There are a lot of royalty movies out there but this one was IMO a lot better than many of them.

It's the one with the woman from Merlin, which is also a fantastic series.

Yup that's her! I haven't checked out Merlin but I know of it.

It's really good and still holds up.

I'll add it to my list of tv shows to watch
