Conﬂict Management

Your Alpha Media Gateway comes with six tuners, which means that you can

record up to six shows at once, unless someone is watching live TV at the same

time. In the event that there is a tuner conﬂict, such as when you have six record-

ings scheduled and are watching another live show, your DVR will bring up an

action menu that outlines your options and lets you make a choice.

Space Management

Shows are automatically kept until more room is needed. You can protect shows

from deletion from the Recorded TV category; see the following chapter for de-

tails.

When you schedule a new show to record, your Alpha Media Player will check to

make sure that your Alpha Media Gateway hard drive has enough room.

If your hard drive does not have enough room for the new recording, you’ll receive

a message informing you that, when the new show airs, some recordings may

need to be deleted in order to make room for the new show.

If all of your current recordings are protected against deletion, you’ll get a mes-

sage that your show may not be recorded.
