at the same time every day.

Basic Magic TV™ Recording
Terms
Instant Recording. Recording the programme currently being viewed.
Scheduled Recording. Recording a future programme.

TimeShifting. You are in TimeShifting mode when you are watching a
delayed version of Live TV. For example when you pause Live TV because
of an interruption, you are now in TimeShifting Mode (see section 6.10).
Keep. This term refers to how long Recorded Programmes will be kept before
being deleted.
Trash. Once Recorded Programmes are deleted, they are placed in Trash.
When a programme is in Trash, it will no longer appear in any other list, until
it is either restored, overwritten or permanently deleted (see section 6.8).
Conflict. When 2 or more scheduled recordings overlap.
Disk Space. Magic TV™ uses a Hard Disk Drive to store Recorded
Programmes. When this disk is full, no more recordings can be made.
See section 6.8 on how to manage recordings so that you can free
up disk space and keep important recordings.
Remaining Recording Time: This is displayed on many screens and
is labelled in hours for HD (High Definition) and SD (Standard Definition)
programmes. All programmes broadcast in HD will be recorded in HD.
