At 1:00 a.m., the inactivity clock begins. If you do not press a remote button or front
panel key between 1:00 a.m. and 1:10 a.m., the digital receiver displays a 5-minute
warning banner, indicating that the digital receiver is about to enter Power Save mode:
• To allow the digital receiver to enter Power Save mode, do nothing when the
warning banner appears. The digital receiver automatically powers down. After your
digital receiver powers down, you must press [ CABLE ] and then [ POWER ] on your
remote, or press the Power button on the front panel of your digital receiver, to start
watching TV again.
• To prevent the digital receiver from entering Power Save mode, simply press any
button on your remote or any button on the front panel of the digital receiver when
the warning banner appears. The digital receiver does not attempt to enter Power
Save mode again until another 2 hours of inactivity have passed.
I watched two 30-minute programs on the same channel, but when I pressed
[ RECORD ], the DVR recorded only the most recent program. Why didn’t it
record both programs since it buffered both programs?
It recorded the most recent program because it was the live program at the time that
you pressed [ RECORD ]. The DVR does buffer all programs on a channel for up to
1 hour. However, when you are watching live programming, the DVR assumes that you
want to record a specific program, not a specific channel. For that reason, the DVR
records only the program that is currently being broadcast at the time that you press
[ RECORD ].
For example, let’s say that you tune to a channel for 45 minutes and during that time
watch a 30-minute “My Name Is Earl” episode, and then you watch the first 15 minutes
of “The Office.” You can rewind to the beginning of “My Name Is Earl,” but if you press
[ RECORD ], the DVR records only “The Office” because that is the live program at the
time you pressed [ RECORD ].
Why did the DVR record only part of a program?
If the beginning of the program is missing, you may have started recording the
program after it began. For an explanation of how live TV is recorded, see page 19.
If the end of the program is missing, the DVR may have reached its storage capacity,
the program may have continued past its scheduled time, or you may have manually
stopped the recording.
If there is a chance that the program you are recording may continue past its scheduled
time, you can allow for this uncertainty by extending the stop time on the Confirm
Recording screen.
To determine why the entire program was not recorded, display the Recorded List
screen and select the program in question. The Information area in the upper left of the
Recorded List screen indicates one of the following reasons:
• User stopped recording early.
• Reached storage capacity.
