 Recording Priorities and 

Conflicts

Magic TV™ will constantly check to see whether any new recordings  
or changes to a Scheduled Recording cause an overlap.

Dual Tuners reduce the likelihood of conflicts by allowing programmes  
to be viewed and recorded on 2 different frequencies simultaneously.

If Magic TV™ detects an overlap or conflict when making or amending  
a Scheduled Recording, a message will appear asking you to set the priority 
for that programme.

Higher 

 This programme will be recorded instead of lower priority 

Scheduled Recordings

Lower  

 If a higher priority scheduled recording conflicts with this one, 

the other will be recorded

Cancel  

 This will cancel the new recording/adjustment

 

Unless the programme start and stop times match exactly, Magic TV™ 

will still record some of the lower priority programme.

 Browsing Recorded 

Programmes

A full list of the recorded programmes can be found under Main Menu   
Recorded Programmes.

The Recorded Programmes list can also be accessed by pressing 

 whilst 

watching Live TV.

As the number of recorded programmes can run into the hundreds,  
Magic TV™ has a number of ways to help find them fast.

Browsing Categories can be:

the number of recordings shown in the right-hand list.
