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 “Recording
With the Default Save Time Setting” on page 17.
• Select the Save Time when you schedule
a new recording. For details, see “Recording
Without the Default Save Time Setting” on
page 18.
• Change the Save Time after recording a
program. For details, see “Change the Save Time
of a Recording You Have Saved” on page 32.
Important: Because the Entertainment Server can save between 30 and 50 hours
of recordings, depending on the programming source, it is not intended as
a long-term storage device. When saving recordings, consider the impact
of the save time on your storage space.
Want to maximize your storage space? Reduce the length of your Save
Time setting.
