Do my Parental Controls in the IPG carry over to DVR recordings?
Yes. If you block programs by channel or rating in the General Settings menu,
recordings of these programs also are blocked. They will be recorded, but to play them
back, you must enter your 4-digit PIN.
Can I erase part of a recording?
No. The DVR erases the entire recording.
At the end of the program playback, the DVR started playing the recording
again from the beginning. Why?
To prevent screen burn, the DVR prevents graphics and a still image from being
displayed for too long. The Playback Status screen displays when a recording ends.
If this screen is shown for 5 minutes, the DVR begins playing the recording again from
the beginning.
When the digital receiver is in Power Save mode, will the programs that I have
scheduled to record still be recorded?
Yes. Any scheduled recording will occur when the digital receiver is in Power-Save
mode. Between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. daily, your digital receiver automatically
enters Power Save mode unless you press a key on the remote or a key on the digital
receiver front panel at least once every two hours. In Power Save mode, the
digital receiver is powered down, but all scheduled recordings still occur. When
the digital receiver enters Power Save mode, your TV displays a black screen.
Also, the digital receiver turns on all of your Parental Controls whenever you
power down the digital receiver.
At 1:00 a.m., the inactivity clock begins. If you do not press a remote button or front
panel key between 1:00 a.m. and 1:10 a.m., the digital receiver displays a 5-minute
warning banner, indicating that the digital receiver is about to enter Power Save mode:
• To allow the digital receiver to enter Power Save mode, do nothing when the
warning banner appears. The digital receiver automatically powers down. After your
digital receiver powers down, you must press
[ CABLE ]
and then
[ POWER ]
on your
remote, or press the Power button on the front panel of your digital receiver, to start
watching TV again.
• To prevent the digital receiver from entering Power Save mode, simply press any
button on your remote or any button on the front panel of the digital receiver when
the warning banner appears. The digital receiver does not attempt to enter Power
Save mode again until another 2 hours of inactivity have passed.
I watched two 30-minute programs on the same channel, but when I pressed
[ RECORD ], the DVR recorded only the most recent program. Why didn’t it
record both programs since it buffered both programs?
It recorded the most recent program because it was the live program at the time that
you pressed
[ RECORD ]
. The DVR does buffer all programs on a channel for up to
1 hour. However, when you are watching live programming, the DVR assumes that you
want to record a specific program, not a specific channel. For that reason, the DVR
records only the program that is currently being broadcast at the time that you press
[ RECORD ]
.
