On-Demand Recording
• On-demand recording works only when you set it up.
• The receiver must have enough room to record on your receiver:
– When you make a one-time DVR recording, you can set the receiver to
ask you before it records over what you record. This is how you
"protect" a recorded event. You can protect an event from either TV
output.
– If the receiver needs room to record a new event, it'll record over the
oldest "unprotected" recorded event(s) to make room.
– If the receiver is out of room, and you do not let it record over any old
recorded events, it will not be able to record a new event.
– To free up space on the receiver, you can erase events by opening the
Events Information
erase events from either TV output.
