Daily and Weekly Timer Programmes

DVB Timer Programming

Note:

Two minutes before the recording is due to start, a reminder will appear on screen:

Press the OK button to remove the reminder from the screen.

If you wish to cancel the recording, press the EXIT button.

Notes:

Thirty seconds before the recording is due to start the DVB system will tune to the correct station. If you were already watching another DVB station you will see the station change on screen. If you were watching an analogue channel, you will not see the change.

You can continue to watch analogue stations while a timer recording is in progress.

If you attempt to switch to another DVB programme position while a timer recording is in progress the message "DVB prog. is locked for recording" will be displayed. Press the OK button to continue recording, or EXIT to unlock the programme position. Beware that if you press EXIT timer programming for this DVB position will be immediately deleted. To immediately cancel a recording that is already in progress, press GUIDE then EXIT.

While in the Date field of the DVB Timer Programming menu, you can select various options to determine how often a recording should be made. Press the down cursor button repeatedly to access the following options:

daily SU-SA

The VCR will record at the same time every day.

daily MO-SA

The VCR will record at the same time each day from Monday to Saturday.

daily MO-FR

The VCR will record at the same time each day from Monday to Friday.

weekly SA, FR, TH, WE, TU, MO, or SU

The VCR will record at the same time on the same day each week.

Note:

If new timer programme data overlaps any part of an existing timer programme, the message "Timer Incorrect" will be displayed and the new data will be cleared. If overlapping data is entered using the Timer function on the TV Guide menu (see page 18), the message "Timer cannot be set! Selected programme time repeated or overlapped" will appear.

Note: this will only work with a Q-Link or similar VCR. For normal VCRs you will also have to programme the VCR as well.

Encrypted Programmes

Some DVB programmes will be "encrypted".

This means that the DVB programme cannot be viewed or recorded unless you have the correct Common Interface module to decode the programme.

When you attempt to view or set Timer recording of an encrypted programme and you have no Cl module inserted, a message saying that you are not subscribed to this service will appear on screen.
