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 do so by setting the
programs to be deleted when space is needed. When the record space is full, the oldest recordings that you have set
to be deleted, will be deleted first. If you do not want the DVR to automatically delete certain recordings, you can set
them so that they are only deleted by you.
Troubleshooting
Q. Why doesn't the set-top box respond when I press the keys on my remote?
A. Make sure your remote is in the Cable mode. Press the CABLE button on the remote.
Q. If the power goes out, do I need to reset my Parental Locks and Purchase PINs, Favorite
Channels, Locks and Reminders?
A. No. These items will not be lost if the terminal loses its power.
Q. Nothing happens when the MENU button is pushed, but I can change the channel up and down.

be downloaded. It will take some time for the information to appear. If there is still a problem after the
information has appeared, call your cable company.
Q. I have no video, a snowy picture, or I cannot tune to any of the digital channels.
A. Make sure that all of the cable connections are secure and that the TV is tuned to the correct channel
(3 or 4). Also, make sure you are actually controlling the cable terminal (press the CABLE button on the
remote).
