Setting the Recording Quality
Choose from Standard , Medium , and High .
• Standard : Uses the least amount of recording space, but records at a level that is not recommended for fast-action shows.
• Medium : Offers excellent picture quality but uses more recording space than Standard quality recordings.
• High : Provides the highest quality recording but uses the most recording space. Notice that the reserved space (hours and min-
utes available) changes as you adjust the recording quality when you choose Keep: Until I delete . The higher the recording
quality is set, the less recording space is available for recording. To conserve space, use High sparingly, for example to record
fast-action shows where quality is vital.
Advanced Settings
The Advanced Settings screen provides ways for you to fine-tune the recording features of the shows you choose to record.
Start/End recording : Some shows do not always start and end at their scheduled times. Set the amount of time you want
ReplayTV to record before or after the scheduled show airs to be sure you don’t miss a second of your shows. A red line will appear
on the show in the Channel Guide to indicate that you have extended the recording time.
Store in category : Select a category, either predefined or that you create, to store the recorded show. Your show will automatically
be placed in the category you choose so you can easily find and watch it.
Create a new category : Create a new category for storing recorded shows.
Record shows on : To avoid time conflicts with other shows, check only the days you want this show to record.
To adjust Advanced Settings after a recording has been set up:
1 Highlight a Replay channel in the Replay Guide and press the Select button.
2 Select Change record options then choose Advanced Settings .
3 Adjust the settings and select Done .
Recording Priorities
All shows that you schedule will record unless there is a time conflict with another show. In the event of a conflict, a screen will dis-
play so you can choose which show you prefer to record. If the drive fills up with recorded shows, the oldest show on the drive will
be removed to make room for a new recording. See “Resolving Conflicting Recordings” on page 42.
