Change the Default Save Time Setting for Future
Recordings
When the Explorer DVR leaves the factory, its default Save Time setting is set at
14 days. Using this setting, the Explorer DVR automatically saves each recording
for 14 days. At the end of 14 days, the Explorer DVR erases the recording to make
space for other programs you want to record. You can change this setting from
14 days to 1, 2, or 7 days, or to “until erased.”
Important: When you change the default Save Time setting, it affects all future
recordings, not the currently recorded programs.
