Managing Your Recordings

Q. How many hours of programming can I store on my DVR?
A. Recording capacity depends on the video format. Your DVR can record up to 25 hours of
analog or over 30 hours of digital programming, or up to 12 hours of High Definition
programming. See the record capacity section in this book for more information.
Q. How long can I keep My Recordings?
A. You can keep them as long as you want. Just remember, the recording space is limited, so
you may need to delete some recorded programs from time to time in order to make room for
new ones.
Q. How will I know when I'm almost out of recording space?
A. A message will appear on-screen advising you when recording space is low (80% full) or full.
Note that if you are recording a program and run out of recording space, the recording will stop.
You can always see how much recording space is available from My Recordings. You can also
manually delete recordings and set your DVR to automatically delete recorded programs when
space is needed.
Q. Does the DVR automatically delete programs when the record space is full?
A. Only if you set it up that way. The DVR will automatically delete programs if you tell it to by
marking the programs to be deleted when space is needed. When the record space is full the
oldest recordings will be deleted first. If you do not want the DVR to automatically delete certain
recordings, you can mark them so that they are only deleted by you.
