Setting Record Options
There may be times when you want to adjust the Record Options for a specific show. For example, you might want to record action
movies or sporting events at higher quality than television shows.
When you record a show while watching it, or select a show to record in the Channel Guide, you will need to set the Record
Options. See “Changing the Default Record Options” on page 40 for more information on ReplayTV’s Default Record Options.
To change Record Options, highlight the setting and press Select or the Left or Right Arrow buttons on the remote control.
Record Options Settings
Record Quality: Choose among Standard, Medium, and High.
•
Standard: Uses the least amount of recording space, but records at a level that is not recommended for fast-action shows.
• Medium: Offers excellent picture quality but uses more recording space than Standard quality recordings.
• High: Provides the highest quality recording but uses the most recording space. Notice that the recording space (hours and min-
utes available) changes as you adjust the recording quality. The higher the recording quality is set, the less recording space is
available for recording. To conserve space, use High sparingly, for example to record fast-action shows where quality is vital.
• Guaranteed: Choose Yes or No. Yes means space will be reserved for this show. No means the show will record only if space
is available and it does not conflict with a guaranteed show.
• Store in Category: Select a category, either predefined or that you create, to store the recorded show.
• Create new Category: Create a new category for storing recorded shows.
• Record All Episodes: Choose Yes or No. Yes will set ReplayTV to record the show every time it is broadcast. No will set
ReplayTV to record only one episode.
• Keep: If you select Record All Episodes (Yes), you can set how many episodes ReplayTV should keep before the most current
episode is recorded over the oldest episode.
More Options
Access More Options from the Record Options screen to ensure a program will be recorded in its entirety, even if it runs before or
after its scheduled time, or if the broadcaster’s schedule does not match perfectly with ReplayTV’s Channel Guide. You can also
choose which days a show will record to minimize conflicts.
Extending recording time: Some shows do not always start and end at their scheduled times. Set the amount of time you want
ReplayTV to record before or after the scheduled show airs. Options range from one minute to 240 minutes.
Adjustable Recording Days: Set recording days. Checked boxes indicate the days of the week the show will be recorded.
To change More Options settings:
1
Highlight a Replay channel in the Replay Guide and press the Select button.
2 Select Record Options then choose More Options.
3 Adjust the settings and select Done.
