• Preset recording/watching begins immediately when
presetting operations are performed within three minutes
of the start of the programme.
• Presettings made using the EPG are automatically shown
in the scheduled table.
• Recording may fail because of watching restrictions
imposed by the CA module.

Priority rules for overlapped presettings

When preset TV programmes are overlapped, the following
two rules are used to determine higher priority. If more than
one of the two rules are met, the rules are applied in the order
1, then 2.
Rule 1: If two presettings are overlapped, the presetting with
the earlier start time is given a higher priority. If two
presettings are sequential, the last portion of the first
programme or the first portion of the second may not
be recorded.
Rule 2: If presettings with the same start time are
overlapped, the presetting with the bigger list
number is given a higher priority.
