20 hours for all recordings, you will be prompted to delete an existing scheduled recording, or to discard the new recording schedule. All recordings are saved to My Sirius Shows.

Scheduled recordings are automatically performed without any intervention, however, the Sirius S50 must be docked, connected to a power source, connected to the antenna and receiving a good signal.

If the Sirius S50 is turned off at the time of a scheduled recording, it will wake up and perform the recording session only if it has external power from the home dock. Scheduled recordings will only occur in the vehicle dock if the Sirius S50 is on at the time of the recording.

If you are using the Sirius S50 at the time a scheduled recording is set to begin, you will receive a prompt to either Go and perform the scheduled recording, or to Ignore and not per- form the scheduled recording. If you do not respond to the prompt, the scheduled recording will be performed. (Figure 5)

If you attempt to tune away before a recording session is complete, you will be prompted to confirm that you wish to stop recording. You will have the choice to save the recording up to the point where it was interrupted, or to discard it.
