Record a Program That You Are Watching Live

you are watching live,
make sure that you tune
to the channel when the
program begins. This
ensures that you record
the entire program from
its beginning. Otherwise,
you’ll record only part of
the program.

Before recording the
program, decide how
long you want to save
it, and then follow
these steps.

Recording With the Default Save Time Setting

If you want to record a program that you are watching and save it according
to your default Save Time setting, follow these steps:

. The Confirm Recording screen appears.

2.

Press Select

. The Entertainment Server records the program using

the default Save Time setting.

When the Entertainment Server
leaves the factory, its default
Save Time setting is set at 14
days. Using this setting, the
Entertainment Server automatically
saves each recording for 14 days.
At the end of 14 days, the
Entertainment Server erases the
recording to make space for other programs you want to
record. You can change the default setting from 14 days
to 1, 2, or 7 days, or you can change the default setting
to save recordings until you erase them.

To change the default Save Time setting from the
factory-set time of 14 days, see “Change the Default
Save Time Setting for Future Recordings” on page 31.
