Can Movie Factory be preset to start capturing automatically at certain time?

Welcome to the forums,

As far as I know, no it can not. It is a DVD authoring program, with a degree of editing ability mixed in, and not a TV capture program. You have to manually start the capture process, but you can set a fixed duration to capture.

Thanks, any program can do that?

Well, my Hauppauge card came with scheduling software. (AFAIK, it only works with the Hauppauge recording software and hardware.) ...I assume most TV-Tuner cards some with similar software.

P.S.
I've heard about some open source (free) DVR software. I think it was MythTV.... But, it appears that MythTV is for Linux. While I was searching for "open source DVR" I ran across this site, which might be useful.

MF5 plus can - in the capture screen select the appropriate mode required.
