7.1.4Recording a pay service programme

You can record a pay service programme without the subscrip- tion card. However, you need the subscription card to play it back because it has not been descrambled. So it is recom- mended to record pay service programmes with the subscrip- tion card so that they can be recorded in descrambled form. In that case you can enjoy them without the subscription card like free services.

To record a programme of a pay service in descrambled form, perform the following steps:

1.Select a programme of a pay service you want to record.

2.Make sure that the subscription card is inserted in the slot on the front of the digital receiver.

3.Start recording.

4.Do not switch to other service nor use time shift until it is finished.

NOTE

If you switch to other service or use time shift in the middle of recording a pay programme, it will be recorded without descrambling from that moment. Even if the recording is only partially descrambled, you need the subscription card to play it back.
