Customising Top Up TV Anytime

one  of the great things about Top Up TV Anytime is 

that you don’t have to download all the programmes 

available.  You  can  choose  to  record  and  download 

only those programmes from channels you watch. So 

for example, if you don’t have kids, you can save space 

on your hard drive by de-selecting the kids channels, 

giving  you  more  space  to  download  those  you  do 

want to watch. Customising your channels is easy and 

should be done to ensure you maximise the amount of 

space you have available for your own recordings. This 

menu presents a list of available Top Up TV Anytime 

channels. Use the LefT and RighT arrow buttons to 

move between columns. Use the Up and DowN arrows 

to move the highlighter over a channel for activation. 

press the ReD button to activate the channel.

Note  the  two  times  on  the  bottom  of  the  screen.  

The Top Up TV (TUTV) hours per week will change as 

you  activate  or  de-activate  channels.  The  available 

space left for personal recordings on your DTR’s hard 

disk drive (storage space) is shown on the far right.

in some  cases there will be insufficient free storage space in the personal Disk Space area 

to re-assign for Top Up TV Anytime use. in this case, a pop-up will be displayed as shown 

to enable you to remove content from the Record Library. Use the Up and DowN arrows to 

select a programme and then delete it by pressing the ReD button. once you have created 

enough space, you can activate the new channel by pressing the gReeN button. To exit this 

menu press the YeLLow button.

You may  attempt to activate a channel for which you do not have the right level of subscription.  

if this occurs, you will be taken to the  Subscription screen. follow the steps on screen to 

change your subscription.

warnings

There are some warnings that may pop-up as a result of some of your selections / actions.
The  first of these may be if you de-activate a Top Up TV Anytime channel. The warning 

will inform you that if you de-activate this channel, you will no longer receive any of that 

channel’s programmes and will delete any recordings made from that channel. 
The second warning you may see is in activating a new channel, you may not have enough space 

on your disk drive for planned recordings. The warning will advise you to review your planned 

Recordings as soon as possible. please refer to page 20 on how to make space by deleting  

unwanted recordings.
