Continuous Loop Recording
Continuous loop recording creates a loop file (you set how large it is) to record
video for an hour or two. As new video comes into the loop, it replaces the oldest
video content in the loop.
Loop files are only created for live-TV sources, which are cable (either with the
built-in tuner in the Digital Entertainer HD or through an external cable tuner) or
satellite.
To start recording to a loop file, follow these steps:
1. Select a live-TV source and press to play.
This creates the loop file.
2. You can press again to pause and rewind through your TV viewing.
3. Press again to restart playback.
Recording Settings
Use Recording settings to set the recording destination, default duration and bit
rate at which all recordings are made. You can also control the default bit rate at
which Digital Entertainer HD streams video to other devices, and the size of the
loop file recordings.
When watching any video source, press Record to record what you are currently
watching.
• Use settings automatically. The recording starts immediately, using the
settings in the “Recording Settings” menu.
• Manually enter settings. Enter the settings, press OK, and then the recording
begins.
Note: To record a media source onto a computer hard disk you must first
set up the network recording destination from the Recording
Setup menu. Push Home, and select Supervisor
Functions>Setup>Recording Settings.
