There may be occasions where multiple recordings overlap and your DTR will warn you that two
recordings collide. You may know that the programme you wish to record has moved due to an
over-run of a previous programme. Or simply, you know that the part of the programme you
are interested in starts later that the actual programme start time; for example, a football
match. Editing the timing will allow you to record programmes that would otherwise conflict
with each other and save space on your DTR for future recordings.
Your DTR is also capable of automatically adding time to a recording to guard against
programme over-run. Please refer to Page 24 for more information on G
