DIRECTV HD DVR RECEIVER USER GUIDE

When recording a series, the Episode Type gives you the

option to record ﬁrst run only, repeats only, or both.

The Keep at Most option lets you decide how many

episodes you want to keep: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or All. If you

select All Episodes for a show that appears multiple times

in the Guide, it may use up disk space rapidly.

The Keep Until option lets you keep a recording until you

delete it or until the disk is full, in which case the DVR can

delete it automatically if the disk ﬁlls up. A recording that

is labeled Keep Until I Delete will never be deleted until

you do it manually. If all of your recordings are labeled

that way and the disk ﬁlls up, no new recordings will occur

until you manually delete some of your Keep Until I Delete

recordings.

The Start and Stop options let you adjust the times of your

recordings to ensure you don’t miss anything. Keep in mind

that starting early and ending late on all of your recordings

may create more recording conﬂicts than if you started

and stopped on-time (according to the Program Guide

schedule). If you ﬁnd a particular series runs habitually

late or early, it is better to adjust that series using the

program’s Info screen, rather than set the recording

defaults, which would affect all of your DVR recordings.

Press MENU, select Manage Recordings, then select

Series Manager. Select the program you want to adjust,

then select Series Options.
