Recording a Programme

IMPOR TANT: When using a new USB hard disk
drive, it is recommended that you first format the
disk using the Format Disk option in the Media
Browser>Settings>Recording Settings menu.
To record a programme, you should first connect a USB
disk to your box while it is switched off. You should then
switch on the box to enable the recording feature.
To use recording your USB drive should have 2 GB free
space and be USB 2.0 compatible. If the USB drive is not
compatible an error message will be displayed.
To record long duration programmes such as movies,
it is recommended to use USB Hard disk drives (HDD's).
Recorded programmes are saved into the connected USB
disk in the following directory: /DVR/RECS. A file in TS (.ts)
format is created for each recording. This file includes
information such as broadcaster, programme, and
recording time. If desired, you can store/copy recordings
onto a computer; however, these files will not be available
to be played on a computer. You can play the recordings
only via your box programmes up to ten hours.
Recorded programmes are split into 4GB partitions.
If the writing speed of the connected USB disk is not
sufficient, the recording may fail and the timeshifting
feature may not be available.
It is recommended to use USB hard disk drives for
recording HD programmes.
The hard disk drives that have a storage capacity of more
than 2 terabytes are not supported.
Do not pull out the USB/HDD during a recording. This
may harm the connected USB/HDD.
If the power cord is unplugged while there is an active
USB-recording timer setting, it will be cancelled.
Multipartition support is available. A maximum of two
different partitions are supported. The first partition of
the USB disk is used for PVR ready features. It also must
be formatted as the primary partition to be used for the
PVR ready features.
Some stream packets may not be recorded because of
signal problems, as a result sometimes videos may freeze
during playback.
Record, Play, Pause, Display (for PlayListDialog) keys
can not be used when teletext is on. If a recording starts
from timer when teletext is on, teletext is automatically
turned off. Also teletext usage is disabled when there is
an ongoing recording or playback.
If you require any technical guidance or find that your set-top box is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the Troubleshooting section of these instructions,
