Space Management
Shows are automatically kept until more room is needed. You can
protect shows from deletion from the Recorded TV category; see
the following chapter for details.
When you schedule a new show to record, your CatchTV Player
will check to make sure that your CatchTV Media Gateway hard
drive has enough room.
If your hard drive does not have enough room for the new
recording, you'll receive a message informing you that, when the
new show airs, some recordings may need to be deleted in order
to make room for the new show.
If all of your current recordings are protected against deletion,
you'll get a message that your show may not be recorded.
Intro to Recorded TV
In the horizontal menu, you'll find the Recorded TV category. All
of the recorded shows and shows that are currently recording are
listed in the vertical band in alphabetical order. Episodes of a series
are grouped into folders; you'll see the individual episodes in the
preview panel to the right. To watch a show, select it, and press OK.
And if you've already watched half of the show, you can choose
whether to resume where you left off or start over from the beginning.
