programme could be transferred in about three minutes. When turbo mode is turned off, it will take approximately fifteen minutes to transfer a fifteen minute programme.
To transfer a recorded programme from your PVR to your PC, click on it in the left hand panel, and then click the right- pointing arrow between the two panels. The file will be copied to the folder on your computer that’s displayed in the right hand panel.
You can transfer files in the opposite direction in the same way, by highlighting them in the right hand panel, and selecting a folder on the PVR to copy them to, then clicking the left point- ing arrow. If you would like to copy several files in one go, you can click to select the first, then hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while you click to add others to the selec- tion.
Turbo mode makes transferring files faster, but to allow that, the PVR stops responding to commands from the remote control, and dedicates all its resources to the transfer. It is not recommended that you use turbo mode if you want to use the PVR while transferring, or if any scheduled record- ings are due to start.
In the next section, we’ll look at some of the advanced fea- tures you can use on your PVR, including adding additional software and playing back MP3 files that you have transferred to its hard disk.
