Save Latest Options

When scheduling a recording of all episodes, you can choose to save the 2, 3, 4, or 5 most recent episodes. Or, you can save every episode until you cancel the recordings or run out of storage space.

For example, let’s say that you choose to save the 2 most recent episodes of a program that is broadcast every weeknight Monday through Friday. When the Explorer DVR records the program on Wednesday, it automatically deletes the program it recorded on Monday. So the Tuesday and Wednesday recordings are now saved. Then, on Thursday, the Thursday episode will be recorded, the Tuesday recording will be erased, and so on.
