You can safeguard your capability to play
recorded TV programs by making a backup
CD and using it as described in the procedures
provided here. Make the backup CD now, before
you need it, so that you can use the CD after you
perform a system recovery, or replace the hard
disk drive in your PC. If you do not have the
backup CD after you perform a system recovery
or replace the hard disk drive, you will not be
able to play any previously recorded TV
programs that are broadcaster-encrypted.
The procedures that follow describe how to
prepare your PC, make the backup files you
need, copy the file to CD, and use the backup
CD to restore the files to your PC after a system
recovery.
