Recording Preferences
There are two options available to change, the guard time and the rewind buffer size. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to move between the two options and the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to scroll through the available values for that option.
Recording guard time
A guard time is a small amount of time added to the
start and end of a recording to help protect against programmes starting slightly ahead of schedule or more typically
setting is OFF to maximise the available disk space for recordings.
Pause live TV
Your DTR automatically records and buffers the channel you are currently watching. The size of this record buffer is set to 30 minutes. This means that you can pause and rewind the channel you are watching back by 30 minutes, or by the amount of time you have set as the Pause live TV buffer size. As with the guard times, this obviously takes up space on your hard disk drive for recording other programmes so if you do not use this feature you can turn it off to increase the available space for recordings. The available settings areOFF, 15, 30, 45
or 60 minutes.
If while watching a programme you decide to record it, your DTR will use as much of the buffer as is available to add to your recording in an attempt to record the whole of the programme
from the start.
Messages
Occasionally, events may occur that your DTR stores for your information. For example, your DTR is capable of having its software upgraded automatically via the aerial. If you have any messages waiting to be read, a small envelope icon will appear as shown. To view any messages, select Messages from the Main Menu or
