recording was parking in the guaranteed recording’s spot.
Recording Priorities
If you have created many Replay channels, it is possible that eventually two scheduled recordings will conflict with each other.
The following recording priorities are numbered from highest priority to lowest:
1
Guaranteed Single-record and Show-based recordings
If a change in television schedules puts guaranteed Show-based channels into a recording conflict with each other, the Replay
channel created first will be recorded.
2
Guaranteed Zone- and Theme-based recordings
If two or more Guaranteed Zone- or Theme-based recordings start at the same time, the show airing on the lowest-numbered
Channel Guide channel will be recorded.
3
All non-guaranteed recordings
If two or more non-guaranteed recordings overlap recording times, the show that starts first will be recorded.
If two or more non-guaranteed recordings start at the same time, Show-based recordings take priority over Zone- and Theme-
based recordings.
4
Non-guaranteed Single-record and Show-based recordings
If two or more non-guaranteed Show-based recordings start at the same time, the show airing on the Replay channel created
first will be recorded.
5
Non-guaranteed Zone- and Theme-based recordings
If two or more non-guaranteed Zone- or Theme-based recordings start at the same time, the show airing on the lowest-num-
bered Channel Guide channel will be recorded.
Show-based and Single-record Channels
Guaranteed Show-based channels record every time a show is on at or near the time you specified, on the channel you specified.
Recorded Show-based episodes will be recycled to make room for a new episode when the channel is full.
Single-record channels will not be recycled until you delete them.
Non-guaranteed Show-based channels behave exactly like guaranteed Show-based channels except:
1
Non-guaranteed Show-based channels will not record if recording space does not permit.
2
Non-guaranteed Show-based channels will be recycled if a guaranteed recording needs space.
