KEEP CONTIGUOUS RECORDINGS...: apart; together:

The apart setting places recordings of programmes in succession on the same channel in separate recording files. This is easier to handle, but means that padding between the two needs to be nil: therefore, the end of the first programme may actually be found in the recording of the second.

The together setting places recordings of contiguous programmes on a single channel into a single on-disk recording, and manages information to ensure that each appears separate from the others.

MAY I SUGGEST: Enables the May I Suggest feature of iGuide which attempts to predict programmes you may like but not yet know about, based on your existing recordings. The options are no which disables it, or 5, 10 or 15 suggestions. See the section above for a full description of MIS.

NAVIGATION: The number of lines to scroll the EPG page by, when pressing the [UP/DOWN

ARROW] in the EPG grid screen while the highlighted programme is in either the first or last row. Use [LEFT/RIGHT ARROW] to choose one of:

full page – the default behaviour, all seven visible channels are replaced with the next/previous seven

full page, keep current channel – the current channel moves to the top or bottom position as appropriate and the next/previous six channels are displayed

half page – the current channels scroll up or down as appropriate such that the current highlighted channel takes the middle position, and the next/previous three channels are displayed above or below as necessary.

one channel at a time – the current channels scroll up or down as appropriate by one line, and the next/previous channel selected and displayed.

GMT OFFSET YEAR-END and GMT OFFSET MID-YEAR: The offset, in hours, from GMT in Northern hemisphere winter and summer respectively: defaults to the UK 0 and +1. Daylight Savings Time is calculated according to the European (and Australian) standard: DST begins (ends) on the last Sunday in March at 2.00am; it ends (begins) on the last Sunday in October at 2.00am

USE [REC] FOR WATCH: If set to ‘yes’, pressing [REC] (or, possibly, [OK]) on a selected programme in the EPG grid or now-and-next banner will have the default action of setting a watch timer. If set to ‘no’, the default action is to set a recording timer.

USE OK TO SET TIMER: Sets whether or not to allow [OK] to be used to set timers and change recording status to Series Link in the EPG and Recordings and Timers pages.

For some people, using [OK] in this way is intuitive and useful; for others, it causes a large number of timers to be set by mistake.
