Recording

The UFS 821 offers you the following options for recording a programme:

-Time-shift

Allowing you to include the background recordings made up to that point to be included in your recording

-Record direct to hard disk

Allowing you to start recording immediately or later

-Timer recording (see tvtv EPG)

Allowing you to coordinate your recordings and plan them well ahead, also providing a range of options such as the series timer

Check that there is adequate hard disk capacity available before every recording! You can see this on the right-hand side of the “Recording List” menu, indicated as “Disk Usage”. It is impossible to say exactly how much storage space a recording will take up, as this depends on the volume of data content transmitted. You can work on a basis of about 1.5 GB for one hour’s recording.

Recording Direct to Hard Disk (Store Time-Shift Recording)

 

The UFS 821 offers you a special feature in this context. As soon as

 

you switch to a channel, the receiver automatically starts recording the

 

programme you are viewing to the hard disk in the background. When

 

you change channel again, the stored data is deleted and background

 

recording begins again.

 

If, after viewing the programme for a time, you decide you want to

 

record it, you can do so as from the point you switched to the channel

 

in question.

Precondition:

On the “PVR Setup” menu the “Automatic time-shift” option must be set

 

to “On” and the Time-Shift Buffer Size” entry must allow sufficient hard

 

disk capacity for the time-shift recording.

 

Also refer to the “User Preference” section on this, under “PVR

 

Setup”.
