stored on the PVR, along with any extra folders you created to
organise them.
At the top of the panel, you'll see a message that says Turbo Off
to start with. Turbo mode is a way of speeding up the transfer
of files to and from the PVR; you can click the circle to the left
of the message to turn turbo mode on or off.
When turbo mode is turned on, and you have a USB2.0 con-
nection on your computer, you can transfer programmes at
speeds of up to a fifth of their running time, so a fifteen minute
programme could be transferred in about three minutes. When
turbo mode is turned off, it will take approximately fifteen
minutes to transfer a fifteen minute programme.
To transfer a recorded programme from your PVR to your
PC, click on it in the left hand panel, and then click the right-
pointing arrow between the two panels. The file will be copied
to the folder on your computer that's displayed in the right
hand panel.
You can transfer files in the opposite direction in the same way,
by highlighting them in the right hand panel, and selecting
a folder on the PVR to copy them to, then clicking the left
pointing arrow. If you would like to copy several files in one
go, you can click to select the first, then hold down the Ctrl key
on your keyboard while you click to add others to the selection.
Turbo mode makes transferring files faster, but to allow that,
the PVR stops responding to commands from the remote
control, and dedicates all its resources to the transfer. It is
not recommended that you use turbo mode if you want to
use the PVR while transferring, or if any scheduled record-
ings are due to start.
In the next section, we'll look at some of the advanced features
you can use on your PVR, including adding additional software
and playing back MP3 files that you have transferred to its hard
disk.
