Resolving Recording Conflicts - HP Media Center PC User Manual

Important information about recorded TV programs
When you replace the hard disk drive, you lose any
files or software that you created, saved, or installed
on the PC. You also lose a special code that
Microsoft includes in the files of the recorded TV
programs.

Resolving Recording Conflicts

Media Center can record only one TV program at a
time. If you schedule two recordings for the same
time, a message appears telling you to resolve the
conflict. If you don't 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 to the program in
the Guide. Press the Start button on the remote
control, select My TV, Settings, Recorded TV,
and then select Scheduled.
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.
Without the code, Media Center will not play the TV
programs previously recorded to disk or copied to
DVD or to other media.
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.
If you are watching TV while recording a program,
you can watch only the channel being recorded. If
you attempt to change the channel, a message
appears telling you that changing the channel stops
the recording. 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.
n
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.
