Guaranteed Record and Space-available Record
When you guarantee recording of a future show, recording space is immediately set aside. For this reason, the size of your recording space limits the number of shows you can guarantee. A guaranteed record places solid red dots next to the show-based recording in the Channel Guide. When you don�t guarantee a future show for recording, the show uses whatever space is available at the time it is recorded. If there is no unused space available at the time, the show may not be recorded. A non-guaranteed (space-available) record places hollow red dots next to the show in the Channel Guide. There is no limit to the number of non-guaranteed recordings you can set. To increase the likelihood of your non-guaranteed shows being recorded, delete viewed shows from the Replay Guide after you have watched them. The time that is reserved for the Show-based channel that you just deleted can be used for non-guaranteed shows. Although, if another episode of the guaranteed show is about to air, it will reclaim its reserved recording space that was borrowed by the non-guaranteed recording.
Recording Space Management Tips
Here are some space saving tips to make sure the TV/HDR Combo records what you want.
Use the Guaranteed record setting for your can�t miss shows
Use the Guaranteed setting for the shows you can�t afford to miss, and use the non-guaranteed setting for other shows. By using the guaranteed setting for every show, you may block the recording of other shows you�d like to watch. If you maintain your Replay Guide regularly, there should always be enough space to record guaranteed and non-guaranteed shows.
Use the High record level sparingly
The High level setting provides the best picture for the shows you record. This also takes up the most recording space of the three record level settings. You might want to use the High level setting for sporting events, fast-action movies, and other shows where quality is vital.
Keep space available for pausing
If you need to pause live TV for longer than 10 minutes, keep more recording space free for the added pause time.
Save shows you want to keep long-term to videotape
For shows you want to keep permanently, connect a VCR to the TV/HDR Combo and transfer recordings to videotape. See �Saving Shows to Videotape� on page 37.
Review your Replay Guide regularly to delete any unwanted shows
Every show you record remains in your Replay Guide�even after you watch it. As more shows are recorded, available space begins to run out. Rather than leave an old episode in your Replay Guide, delete the show after you watch it. That way, you make space available so that other shows can be recorded, rather than tie that space up from week to week. Check your Replay Guide on a regular basis and delete shows you have already watched.
