10-3 RECORDING PROGRAMMES USING THE PROGRAMME GUIDE

The advantage of programming a recording using the electronic programme guide is that you can record
specific programmes rather than time slots on channels. You will be able to use this function only if the
broadcaster provides information on the forthcoming programmes.
10-3-1 Recording modes: Timer or
The receiver can handle two programme recording modes using the electronic programme guide:
recording at a fixed time (Timer mode) or by event (Programme mode).
Timer mode
By programming a recording using the electronic programme guide, the receiver memorises the
channel, the date and the announced start and end time of the programme to record.
The receiver then records the specified channel at the day and time specified.
To avoid possible shifts between the announced schedules and the actual schedules of broadcast,
you can specify safety margins in your user preferences. The receiver will then begin and stop
recording from 1 to 15 minutes before and after the announced time.
Programme mode (depending on country)
By programming a recording using the electronic programme guide, the receiver memorises
information of the programme to record, provided by the broadcaster: name, summary, date, channel
and time of broadcast.
As the beginning of recording approaches (10 minutes before the announced time), the receiver
monitors the channel and awaits the broadcast signal marking the beginning of the programme. The
receiver begins recording only when the programme starts.
When the signal marking the end of the programme is received, the receiver stops recording.
The availability of the Programme recording mode depends on each
country. To know if this mode is available in your country, access the User
Preferences menu: if the selection of the recording type does not appear
among the preferences, it means that it is not available for your country.
Only the Timer recording mode is then available to you (see "User
preferences", page 12).
You can customise in your User Preferences the recording mode to be applied by default and the safety
margins to be applied in the Timer mode (see "User preferences", page 12).
