The hard disk space for the scheduled recording is reserved until the recording takes place,
assuring you that you will always get the recording you requested. A standard recording can
only be deleted by the user, from the Recorded Shows page. Standard recordings have a
higher priority than Group recordings.
A *URXS UHFRUGLQJ is an automated process that continually reuses some of the available
hard disk recording space by eliminating previous Group recordings. However, unlike the stan-
dard recording (one that is not part of a Group), this hard disk space is not pre-allocated.
Higher priority recordings can reclaim space from a Group recording. Depending on how many
other recordings have been scheduled, the actual contents of a recording Group may be less
or more than its defined size at any given time.
The recording space for a recording Group is defined in thirty-minute intervals. The recording
size selects the approximate maximum size for each Group. To save six half-hour shows, set
the total recording size to three hours. To save eight half-hour shows, set the total size to four
hours, etc. When setting up multiple Groups, this setting can help manage the Group recording
process by choosing the relative sizes for each Group.
When reclaiming space, Digital VCR tries to preserve shows in a Group that you have not had
time to watch by eliminating the oldest shows first. When multiple Groups exist, each Group is
analyzed and rated separately. Digital VCR tries to retain the relative size of your Groups when
possible.
You also have the ability to rate your recording Groups. Giving one Group a higher priority can
help manage conflicts in the recording schedule.
Setting Up a Recording Group
Group recordings are set up from the Record dialog. In addition, like all files that have been
scheduled for recording, items belonging to a Group can be seen in the Scheduler window.
