ReplayTV 4500

If you set a Show-based channel to record all episodes, the oldest episode will be recycled to make room for a new episode when the channel is full.

GuaranteedTheme-basedTheme-basedChannelschannels are designed to hold a specific amount of programming (1/2 hour, 2 hours, etc.). Twenty-four hours after being recorded, the oldest program will be recycled to make room for a new program when the channel is full.

1Non-guaranteed Theme-based channels will not record if recording space does not permit.

RecordingTo get the most outTipsof ReplayTV, follow these recording tips:

Guarantee shows you don’t want to miss

If you absolutely do not want to miss a show, make sure it is scheduled as a guaranteed Single-record or guaranteed Show- based recording.

High quality sparingly

The High quality setting provides the highest quality picture, but uses the most recording space. Recording in Medium quality should be adequate for most of your recording needs. The High quality setting is best used for sporting events, fast-action mov- ies, and other shows where picture quality is vital.

Delete shows after you watch them

To increase the likelihood of your non-guaranteed shows being recorded, delete shows from the Replay Guide after you watch

them. The more available space, the more shows ReplayTV can record.
