7.Contiguous programme recordings

Recordings are automatically padded at either end with user-definable values. However, if two programmes are to be recorded following each other on the same channel, there’s no possibility of padding.

This means that, if the programmes each record into their own file on disk, the end of the first may appear in the recording of the second, or vice versa (well, not exactly vice versa but you know what I mean).

iGuide provides a ‘contiguous recordings’ mechanism, whereby recordings that follow each other on the same channel are recorded into a single master file. This is invisible to the user, as iGuide manages its recordings to make it appear that each is separate, with the appropriate amount of padding before and after.

8.iGuideSMS recording by text

iGuide provides a mechanism to allow timers to be set remotely via SMS text. Note that this requires that a mobile phone with an RS232 GSM modem interface be attached to the Toppy’s serial port. Currently the Nokia 6310 and Seimens ME45 have been tested with this interface. See the iGuideSMS quick guide below for further details.
