Resolving Recording Conflicts; Recording Priority Rules - HP z545 Software Reference Manual

Resolving Recording Conflicts

Media Center can record only one TV program at a time.
If your HP Digital Entertainment Center includes one TV
tuner and you schedule two recordings for the same time,
a message appears telling you to resolve the conflict. If
you do not resolve the conflict, Media Center
automatically makes the selection just before the program
begins recording. Before the program records, a conflict
icon (a red circle with an exclamation point) is listed next

Recording priority rules

Media Center selects which program to record based on
the following priority rules:
1
A scheduled program that is not a rerun
2
The program that was scheduled first
3
Manual recordings
Often, Media Center is able to find an alternative date
and time for recording one of the programs so that both
programs can be recorded. If one recording partially
overlaps another, Media Center records to the end of the
first and then begins recording the second.
After you resolve a recording conflict, the conflict icon
continues to appear for the program that is not scheduled
to record so you can return to the conflict and reverse it, if
needed.

to the program in the Guide. Press the Media Center Start
button on the remote control, select My TV, Recorded
TV, and then select Scheduled.
To enable Media Center to resolve recording conflicts,
you can set up how program recordings are handled.
When you try to record a program and another is
scheduled at the same time, Media Center prompts you to
choose a program to record.
If you are watching TV while recording a program, you
can watch only the channel being recorded. If a
recording is scheduled to begin and you are watching a
different channel, a message appears giving you the
choice to change the channel to begin the recording. If
no choice is made, the channel changes automatically.
If two recordings are in conflict, but one is
scheduled to air at another time, Media
Center displays a message with the option to
record an alternate recording of one of the
programs.
