40Recording and playing TV programmes

You can instruct the PVR to return to standby after the cur- rent recordings have finished, using the Sleep timer. Press

the key on the remote, and move to the bottom option, Sleep timer. Use the right arrow key to choose 10 minutes, and then press OK. The PVR will count down the sleep timer until there is one minute left. If your recordings are still in progress, it will then wait until they have finished, before returning to standby.

3.5.6 How recordings are named

If you record two or programmes with the same name, the PVR will automatically rename the second and subsequent recordings, by adding a —and a number to the name. For ex- ample, if you already had a recording called Rome, the next episode to be saved would be called Rome-2, and the one af- ter than Rome-3. If you deleted the first one, then the name Rome would be used again. We’ll explain in the next chapter how you can change programme names yourself.
