The Overlap ProtectionTM Feature

Being able to record two programs at the same time doesn’t eliminate all possible recording conflicts. The Overlap Protection feature gives you additional options for dealing with recording conflicts when they occur.

•If Overlap Protection is turned off, when two programs overlap by a few minutes (for example, one program ends at 8:33, while the next program begins at 8:30), the lower priority recording is cancelled.

•With Overlap Protection turned on, the DVR automatically clips the lower priority recording by just enough minutes to allow both programs to record.

When scheduling new recordings, the DVR notifies you of any recording conflict and gives you options for resolving it. If Overlap Protection is on, your options include clipping the lower priority program.

Recording Priorities. Overlap Protection works by using the Season Pass Manager (page 24) to determine the priority of each repeating program scheduled to record. One-time recordings are not listed on the Season Pass Manager; these individual recordings that you schedule receive the highest priority. In fact, the most recent individual recording that you requested always has the highest priority. (TiVo Suggestions always have the lowest priority.)
