Shows at Risk of Deletion
Shows that are at risk of deletion are colored gray in the Replay Guide. Shows will be deleted when space is needed for new record-
ings. This allows you to decide whether to watch the show now or to preserve it by choosing "Keep until I delete" on the show's
menu. As long as there is more than four hours remaining (at the default recording quality), you will never see any of your shows at
risk.
If there are less than four hours of free space available, the oldest show(s) are identified and considered at risk of deletion. A show
is deemed "at risk" when the following occurs:
•
It is a single show recording and the Keep until option is set to "Space needed" or, it is a repeating show recording and the
Delete oldest option is set to "if space needed."
•
It is a show that would be automatically deleted to make room should a four-hour show at the default quality be recorded.
Saving Recordings to Videotape
ReplayTV is not intended to be used as a long-term storage device. You can free up more recording space by transferring your
recordings to videotape and watching them on your VCR.
Before saving a recording to videotape, make sure your VCR is connected properly to ReplayTV. See "Connecting ReplayTV to a
VCR" on page 10 for more information. If ReplayTV is connected to your VCR using A/V or S-Video cables, your VCR must be
set to Line or Aux Input. If your VCR is set to channel 3, it's using the RF/Coaxial Input.
