Recording
The UFS 821 offers you the following options for recording a
programme:
- Time-shift
Allowing you to include the background recordings made up to that
point to be included in your recording
- Record direct to hard disk
Allowing you to start recording immediately or later
- Timer recording (see tvtv EPG)
Allowing you to coordinate your recordings and plan them well ahead,
also providing a range of options such as the series timer
Check that there is adequate hard disk capacity available before
every recording! You can see this on the right-hand side of the
“Recording List” menu, indicated as “Disk Usage”. It is impossible
to say exactly how much storage space a recording will take up, as
this depends on the volume of data content transmitted. You can
work on a basis of about 1.5 GB for one hour’s recording.
The UFS 821 offers you a special feature in this context. As soon as
you switch to a channel, the receiver automatically starts recording the
programme you are viewing to the hard disk in the background. When
you change channel again, the stored data is deleted and background
recording begins again.
If, after viewing the programme for a time, you decide you want to
record it, you can do so as from the point you switched to the channel
in question.
Precondition: On the “PVR Setup” menu the “Automatic time-shift” option must be set
to “On” and the “Time-Shift Buffer Size” entry must allow sufficient hard
disk capacity for the time-shift recording.
Also refer to the “User Preference” section on this, under “PVR
Setup”.
