7.15 Hard drive operation

Your PVR receiver (PVR=Personal Video Recorder) is equip- ped with an integrated hard disk drive, so that you no longer require an external medium (e.g. video recorder) to make recordings. The recording capacity is dependent on the size of the hard drive, as well as on the volume of data of the bro- adcast material.

7.15.1 Recording

Several recording modes are available to record broadcasts on the hard drive.

1. Instant recording

Use this type of recording to immediately record the currently selected programme at the touch of a key.

2. Timer-controlled recording

If this function is selected, the digital receiver will be switched on resp. off for the selected programme, to record this on the hard drive in your absence. You can programme the timer manually, or you can do this automatically using the SFI func- tion.
