Record a Program That You Are Watching Live
To record a program that you are watching live, make sure that you tune to the channel when the program
begins, then press Record . This ensures that you record the entire program from its beginning.
Otherwise, you’ll record only part of the program.
DVR cannot determine whether a live program will end at its scheduled time. If there is a chance that
the event 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.
Save Your Recorded Programs
DVR can save at least 30 hours of recorded programs. To maximize your
storage space, keep the length of your Save Time setting to a minimum.
Whether you record a program you’re watching live, or schedule a program
to be recorded in the future, you can select how long you want the recording
to be saved in three ways:
• Use the default Save Time setting. This is the quickest way to save recordings
because you don’t need to select the save time each time you record a
program. DVR will save the recording using the length of time established by
the default setting.
• Select the Save Time when you schedule a new recording.
• Change the Save Time after recording a program.
Note: DVR is not a long-term storage device. To further maximize your storage space, review your list
of recordings regularly and erase the recordings you no longer wish to save. For long-term storage,
a program can be transferred to your VCR (see “Copy Recordings to a VCR Tape” on page 35).

RECORD AND PLAY BACK PROGRAMS
The DVR default Save Time setting is set to automatically save each
recording for 14 days. Then DVR erases the recording to make space for
other programs you want to record. You can change the default setting
from 14 days to 1, 2, or 7 days — or to “until erased.” “Until erased”
means it will be saved until you erase it yourself.
