SAVE RECORDINGS

Whether you record a program you are watching live or schedule a program to be

recorded in the future, you have three ways that you can select how long to save the

recording:

• Use the default Save Time setting. Using the default Save Time setting is the

quickest way to save recordings because you don’t need to select the save time

each time you record a program. For details, see the “Change the Default Save

Time Setting for All Future Recordings,” next in this guide.

• Select the Save Time when you schedule a new recording.

• Change the Save Time after recording a program. For details, see “Change

the Save Time of a Single Recording,” later in this guide.

IMPORTANT! The DVR is not intended as a long-term storage device. When saving

recordings, consider the impact of the save time on your storage space.

CHANGE THE DEFAULT SAVE TIME SETTING FOR ALL FUTURE RECORDINGS

When the DVR leaves the factory, its default Save Time is set to 14 days. Using this

setting, the DVR automatically saves each recording for 14 days. At the end of 14

days, the DVR erases the recording to make space for other programs that you

want to record. You can change this setting from 14 days to 1, 2, or 7 days, or to

“Until I Erase.”

IMPORTANT! When you change the default Save Time setting, it affects all future

recordings, not the programs that were previously recorded.
