- How to Limit the Number of Episodes Recorded
Set a maximum number of episodes within a series that your PVR will record and store. Series recording now has an additional option that allows you to set a maximum number of episodes you wish to record on your PVR.
You can now set the number of episodes that you wish to record by pressing the Change Settings button.
The keep additional options are as follows:
You can now specify how many episodes of a recorded series to keep on the PVR before deleting:
- 1 latest episode
- 2 latest episodes
- 3 latest episodes
- 5 latest episodes
- 7 latest episodes
- 14 latest episodes
Note:
You can still specify a specific episode to not be erased by pressing the do not erase until I erase option. Once your PVR reaches the episode limit you choose for that series, new series episodes will continue to record by replacing the oldest episode recording that has not been set to "keep until I delete". If all episodes are marked "keep until I delete" no new episode will be recorded beyond the series limit you have set.
