ShowSqueeze™
ShowSqueezing a show makes the recording take up less space on your hard drive, enabling you
to store more recorded shows. On the Home page of the Beyond TV ViewScape, go into Settings,
then ShowSqueeze Settings to enable automatic ShowSqueeze, select the fi le format of the
recompressed fi le and adjust the quality of the squeezed show.
Copying Shows to CD/DVD
Beyond TV supports the MPEG-2 format, which makes burning TV shows to DVDs a breeze. Just
load Beyond TV recordings into third-party software such as ArcSoft QuickDVD or ShowBiz.
NOTE: You should record your TV shows to the right MPEG-2 quality profi le to avoid the time-
consuming recompressing step before burning to DVD. To avoid having to recompress, choose
one of the pre-confi gured "DVD" quality settings in Beyond TV.
