Recording Options include:

Record Quality. The choices for Recording Quality are Basic, Medium, High, and Best. The default setting is High. (Best looks great, but keep in mind that it takes up more space.) These settings are described on page 74. (This option is not available once a recording starts.)

Keep At Most. This option sets the maximum number of episodes to be saved—useful for keeping only the most recent nightly news or only a few of your kids’ daily programs. The default setting is 5. (This option is available only for a repeating recording.)

Show Type. The choices are “Repeats & first run,” “First run only,” and “All (with duplicates).”

Keep Until. You can change this setting from “Space needed” (the default setting) to “Until I delete.” (This option is available only for a repeating recording.)

Keep At Least. You can set the minimum amount of time the DVR keeps a recording. The default setting is “Until Space Needed.”

The Overtime Scheduler® consists of these two options:

Start Recording. You can choose to start recording up to ten minutes before a program begins. The default setting is “On-time.” (This option is not available once recording starts.)

Stop Recording. You can set a recording to continue—for a few minutes or up to three hours—after it’s scheduled to end. For example, you can extend a recording of a sports event and be sure to catch the whole game—even if it goes into overtime. You can change this setting when you set up the recording, or while the recording is in progress! The default setting is “On-time.”

Are two of your favorite programs on

® at the same time? If you use7

Recording Options, you can create two Season Pass recordings for the same time. Set the first one to record only First Run episodes; set the second to record every episode. Use the Season Pass Manager (described on page 95) to give the first one higher priority than the second. Voilà! As long as the program information is correct, when reruns of the first program air, your DMS will ignore them and record episodes of the second program.
