Conflict Management
Your Media Gateway comes with six tuners, which means that you can record up
to six shows at once, unless someone is watching live TV at the same time. In the
event that there is a tuner conflict, such as when you have six recordings scheduled
and are watching another live show, your DVR will bring up an action menu that
outlines your options and lets you make a choice.
Space Management
Shows are automatically kept until more room is needed. You can protect shows
from deletion from the Recorded TV category; see the following chapter for details.
When you schedule a new show to record, your Media Player will check to make
sure that your Media Gateway hard drive has enough room.
If your hard drive does not have enough room for the new recording, you’ll receive a
message informing you that, when the new show airs, some recordings may need
to be deleted in order to make room for the new show.
If all of your current recordings are protected against deletion, you’ll get a message
that your show may not be recorded.
