Programmed Recording: You want to have an upcoming programme recorded
automatically and want to programme the time and duration of the required record-

The internal hard disk has sufficient free storage space (see "HDD information" on
page 77). Depending on the quality of the data received, you should assume an
average storage requirement of approx. 2 Gigabytes per hour recording time for tel-

u
Programmed recordings must not overlap. If programmed recordings (incl. lead-in
time and add-on time) overlap, the second recording can only be started when you
terminate the first recording.
