Recording Programmes
This F box has Twin Tuners, making it possible to record two programmes at the same
time.
When recording two programmes at the same time you can also:
- start to playback either of the recordings, even though they are still recording,
- playback a previously recorded programme - watch either of the programmes
being recorded.
When recording two programmes at the same time you can not:
- timeshift/pause live TV,
- use Picture In Picture,
- watch a third TV channel.
There are 4 different ways to record programmes:
1. Instant recording

The F box will record programmes even if the programme is shown later than advertised e.g. due to a previous
programme overrunning. Please note, this is not applicable for timers set manually.
It is safe to put the F box into standby mode when you have set programmes to record. The F box will
automatically wake up from standby mode to make the recording.
When setting a recording for a programme that is part of a series, an on screen message will prompt you to press the
[BLUE]
button to record the entire series (‘Series Record’).
The F box will also automatically add 3 minutes to the end of each recording to make sure the entire programme
is recorded. However, if any subsequent recording starts during those 3 minutes, then the first recording will be stopped to
allow the new recording to commence.
