7.3.7 To play back a scrambled recording

If you have recorded a programme of a pay service with the subscription card, you can play it as freely like one of a free service. Otherwise you need the subscription card to play it, because it has been recorded without unscrambling even though it may have been partially descrambled.

On the recorded programme list, a purely green $ indicates the recording has been wholly descrambled; on the other hand, a yellowish green $ indicates it has been partially descrambled, and a purely yellow $ indicates it has not been descrambled at all.

Refer to § 7.1.6 for how to record a pay service programme.
