Managing Your Personal Video Library

A recorded program remains in your personal video library until you decide to delete it, unless you have it set to delete when space is needed. Your DVR will record and store up to 40 hours of standard definition programming and up to 40 hours of High Definition programming*. To make the most efficient use of DVR storage space, follow these guidelines:

To Delete Recordings

From the program information screen, select the Icon to delete the recording, or select the Icon to modify the Delete Priority. For example, you can tell the guide to delete the recording when space is needed.

Copy Recordings to A VCR Tape

After you watch a recording, decide to either erase it or keep it permanently by transferring it to a VCR tape.

When you copy recordings to a VCR tape, make sure that the recording is displayed on the TV screen for the entire time the recording is being copied. If you change channels or display guide screens during the copying process, your tape copy will contain these images and you will not have a complete copy of the recording.
