Smart recurring Recording Events are distinguished from one-time Recording Events with
multiple recording icons layered together.
Smart one-time Recording Events are distinguished with a single, gear shaped recording icon.
From the list of Recording Events, you are able to adjust a program's priority by pressing A to "Raise
Priority" or B to "Lower Priority." The HDPVR relies on priorities to determine which programs get
recorded in the event of a conflict. Your HDPVR can record two programs at once, so if three or more
recordings overlap, only the two with the highest priority will be recorded.
For Example:
"The X Factor" airs from 8:00-10:00pm. It has priority 1 in your PVR Options.
o
"Survivor" airs from 8:00-9:01pm. It has priority 3 in your PVR Options.
o
"Modern Family" airs from 9:00-9:30pm. It has priority 7 in your PVR Options.
o
"Modern Family" will not be recorded because at 9:00pm, both tuners will still be in use recording the
other two programs. If you move "Modern Family" to priority 2, "Survivor" will not be recorded
because there will not be two free tuners for the entire duration of the program.
From the list of Recording Events, select one and press ENTER to view the Edit Recording Event menu.
