Managing Recorded TV
The Recorded TV category lists all your recorded shows in alphabetical order. Episodes of a
series are grouped into folders and individual episodes are seen in the preview panel to the
right.
The recorded show icons let you know the following:
The show is recording right now.
The show is scheduled to record.
The show is recorded and may be deleted when space is needed.
The show is recorded and will not delete unless deleted manually.
The Options card in the Recorded TV category lets you manage your recorded TV.

Here you can also cancel a recording or alter your recording settings for each show.
Just pick the show you want to manage and press the

• Recording Defaults in Options let you determine your default preferences for how
long to keep a recording, how many episodes to record, when the recording starts
and stops, and whether to record first runs or repeats.
