The Safety Net; Fast Forwarding - DStv HD PVR Viewer's Manual

T S N
HE AFETY ET
When you schedule a recording, the HD PVR automatically adds 3 minutes to the beginning and 10
minutes to the end of the recording (so long as the safety net does not clash with other existing
recordings). To change the default settings for the safety net, see page 49.
The new settings will only take effect on new scheduled recordings, ie. existing scheduled recordings
retain their original safety net settings.
Note : Safety Nets are not applied to Time Based Recordings.

HD PVR Viewer's Guide – UEC
The PVR will eliminate the safety net to
avoid conflict.
Example : you have two recordings set from
10:00-11:00 (09:57-11:10 with default safety
net).
If you want to schedule a recording for 11:00 –
12:00, the PVR drops the safety net of one of the
recordings to ensure that this recording can be
accommodated.
