Change the Default Save Time Setting for Future Recordings
When the Explorer DVR leaves the factory, its default Save Time setting is set at 14 days. Using this setting, the Explorer DVR automatically saves each recording for 14 days. At the end of 14 days, the Explorer DVR erases the recording to make space for other programs you want to record. You can change this setting from 14 days to 1, 2, or 7 days, or to “until erased.”
Important: When you change the default Save Time setting, it affects all future recordings, not the currently recorded programs.
