The Quality setting in the Record Options menu is only applied to analog recordings since digital
recordings are stored in the same digital format as they are received. Choosing the best Quality
settings for a recording from an analog channel (HQ or HSP settings) will result in higher-quality
recordings, but will use more of the HD DVR’s recording capacity. Choosing the extended capacity
Quality settings for a recording from an analog channel (EP or SLP settings) will result in a lower-
quality recording, but will use less of the HD DVR’s recording capacity. In order from highest quality to
lowest quality, the options are HQ, HSP, SP, LP, EP and SLP.
