Change the Default Save Time Setting for Future Recordings

The DVR default Save Time setting is set to automatically save each recording for 14 days. DVR then erases the recording to make space for other programs you want to record. You can change the default setting from 14 days to 1, 2, or 7 days — or to “Until erased.”

Important: When you change the default Save Time setting, all future recordings recorded with the default Save Time will be saved according to the new Save Time setting.
