Setting the Recording Options
All shows are recorded using the default recording settings, unless you change them. You can change these settings whenever you
choose to record the show you are currently watching, or when you select a show to record in the Channel Guide. Recording set-
tings can also be changed before a show you set to record begins.
Recording One Show Only
To record a single show, choose Record: This show only.
The other options on this screen can bet set accordingly:
• Select Keep until: I delete, and the show remains indefinitely until you
choose to delete it. If you select Keep until: space needed, the show
remains until it becomes the oldest show on the unit and space is
needed to record a new show. Only in this case will it be deleted to free
up room for the new show.
Recording First Run Episodes (Exclude Repeats)
To record first run episodes only, and skip the repeats, choose
Record: First run episodes. You can still record all episodes by choosing
Record: First run and repeats.
The other options on this screen can bet set accordingly:
•Set Keep: X Episodes to the number of episodes of this series of shows
that you would like to store on ReplayTV.
• Protect recurring show episodes from being replaced by selecting
Delete oldest: Only for new episode, which means that shows in the
selected series of recordings will only be deleted to make room for new
episodes of the same show. This is based on how many episodes of the
show you choose to Keep. Choosing Delete oldest: If space needed
means the oldest episode in this series of recordings will be replaced by
other shows that need space to record.
• See “Setting the Recording Quality” on page 37 for an explana-
tion of the recording quality options. See “Advanced Settings”
on page 37 to see how you can fine-tune the recording features
of the shows you choose to record.
