the future

Saving Your Recordings
Whether you record a program you are watching live or schedule a program to be
recorded in the future, you have three ways that you can select how long to save
the recording.
• Use the default Save Time setting. Using
the default Save Time setting is the quickest
way to save recordings because you don’t
need to select the save time each time you
record a program. For details, see the “Save Time
Setting” box on page 25.
• Select the Save Time when you schedule
a new recording. For details, see the “Save Time
Setting” box on page 25.
• Change the Save Time after recording a
program. For details, see “Change the Save
Time of a Recording You Have Saved” on page 44.
Important: The DVR is not intended to be a long-term storage device. When saving
recordings, consider the impact of the save time on your storage space. See the table
on page 1 for more information about DVR storage capacity.
Tip: Reduce the length of your Save Time setting to maximize your storage
space.
