Watching and recording TV

Your box comes with up to  

300 hours of recording space. 

Press   to record something you’re  

watching live (it’ll record from the  

time you press the button).

Recording two programmes  

If you record two programmes at the  

same time, you can’t then watch a third  

on live TV. 
You can watch something else on  

a streaming service like Netflix or  

NowTV, or a programme you’ve  

already recorded.

Watching Live TV 

 

You can find all of the Freeview 

channels from 001 to 250 and your BT 

subscribed channels from 300 to 550. 
To make it easier to find the channel 

you’re after, you can press   to access 

the channels categories, when in 

the guide. 

Watching your recordings

Press   and go to MyTV.
Highlight the programme you  

want to watch and press   or  .

Auto-deleting recordings 

If your BT TV box is full of recordings,  

it’ll automatically delete the oldest  

one you’ve watched.
Good news, though. You can save  

an old recording from being deleted 

automatically by locking it. Just 

highlight the recording and press  .
To unlock it, highlight it and  

press   again.
