HINT: You can set the Plaza HDR•S to record a programme that is not in the programme guide (one that is on a non- Freesat channel or far into the future) using the manual recording menu (see the Advanced Use section)

the recording is protected against quick or automatic deletion the recording is one of a series

the programme is still being recorded

A series of recordings (with the same title and recorded from the same channel, but at different times or on different days) are grouped together as a single entry in the list, with a label showing the number of episodes within the group. If you highlight a group of recordings

and press the group is expanded on a new screen, with each individual episode listed. Press to return to the main list.
