Grouping and Sorting Recordings
•
Keep—By default, an event timer keeps the 20 newest recordings it has made before
it replaces older recordings with newer ones. You can change this number here.
•
Start Early—You can extend the start time for the recording. This option is useful for
programs that might start a minute or two early, like some network reality shows.
•
End Late—You can extend the stop time for the recording. This option is useful for
programs that might run overtime, like sporting events or awards shows.
•
Priority—By default, new timers have a higher priority assigned to them than existing
timers, for purposes of resolving conflicts when multiple recordings overlap.
Note: If you tune to a program after it has begun, then you can record only the part of the
program after you tuned to it. To do this, reverse as far as you can in the auto-recording.
