Recording Capacity

The recording capacity on the DVR depends on the video format of the programming you wish to
record.Here are some guidelines for determining recording capacity:
• Analog TV Shows (not digital) – Typically analog cable channels are channels 2 through 78,
but may vary depending on your cable system.Recording capacity is between 30 to 37 hours.
• Digital TV Shows (compressed) – Typically digital cable channels are channels 100 and above,
but vary depending on your cable system.Recording capacity is between 75 to 90 hours.
• High Definition TV Shows (HDTV) – Shows that are broadcast in HD may be recorded in the
same format,provided your DVR is connected to a High Definition Television.Recording
capacity is between 12 to 20 hours.
Motorola and TV Guide cannot guarantee the exact amount of programming that each subscriber will
be able to record.The approximate time depends on the programming type.
