6.8Managing Recorded Programmes

Organising programmes into folders

In order to find recorded programmes faster, Magic TV™ has a folder system where you can move recorded programmes into folders with meaningful names. This can be done from either the To Do or Recorded Programme Lists.

After pressing OK		on a highlighted programme in either list, you can
select ‘Move to Folder’. The available folders are as follows:
	My Favourites		Arts	User 1
	My Favourites		Arts	User 1

	Sport		Music	User 2

	Movie		Culture	User 3

	Concert		Education	User 4

	Children		Entertainment	Not in Folder

	Performance		Documentary

To view the contents of the folders, simply go to the Recorded Programme List and press GREEN .

Deleting and undeleting files

When browsing your recorded programmes, you can delete them by pressing OK and choosing “Delete this programme” or by pressing

CLEAR

Magic TV™ then marks these files as ‘deleted’ and removes them from the listings. The HDD space is now available for further recordings.

However, it is still possible to recover deleted files provided that they have not been overwritten.

In the main Recorded Programme List, there is a Filter called ‘Trash’. When a programme is highlighted and OK is pressed, you will have the following options:

Undelete this	This will restore the programme and it will
programme	behave exactly like it did before deletion

Permanently remove	Once this has been selected, the file cannot
this programme	be restored

Exit

Pressing CLEAR on a programme in Trash will permanently remove it after confirmation.

Keeping Files

By default, Magic TV™ will keep all files indefinitely and will not overwrite recordings unless they have been manually deleted. If you keep programmes ‘Forever’, it is possible that Magic TV™ will not be able to make a recording if the disk is full. However, the front panel display and many of the menus contain the disk space information so that you can be aware of a potential problem.

This default setting can be changed in Main Menu ➔ Settings ➔ Recording ➔ Keep Recorded Programme For, and options include numbers of weeks, months, 1 year and ‘Forever’.

After the keep period has passed, Magic TV™ will move the file to Trash and the space will be made available for new recordings.

Individual recordings can be kept for different amount of times by highlighting them in the Recorded Programmes list, pressing OK and choosing the required time period.

A common configuration to avoid the disk becoming full is to set the default to a few months and then set selected recordings to ‘Forever’ for long-term viewing.

6.9Playback of Recorded Programmes

Once a recording has been selected from the Recorded Programmes List, playback will begin. During playback you get all the features you would expect from a video recorder such as pause, fast forward and rewind, but there are some other features too.

These are the functions of remote control buttons during playback:
