More About the DVR Features
Auto Recording
•
Whenever you turn the receiver on, it’s auto recording.
•
With the auto record feature, you can record as much as apprximately two
hours of a program. This total recording time applies to auto recording only;
you can set an event timer for program(s) of any length, limited only by the
amount of remaining free space on your DVR receiver’s hard drive.
•
The receiver needs more room to record programs with more action. So, the
total recording time isn’t exact.
•
After about two hours, the receiver begins to record over its oldest auto
recorded audio and video to have room for the newest audio and video.
•
If one program ends and the next one starts on the same channel, the
receiver continues to record the next program.
•
If you change the channel, you erase the current auto recorded audio and
video, and start auto recording the program or event on the new channel.
•
These auto recordings do not show up in the
DVR Events
list.
Tip: With your
dual-tuner DVR
receiver, you can
even watch one
event you have
recorded while
recording another
one (or even two)
new programs at
the same time!
