Space Management
Shows are automatically kept until more room is needed. You
can protect shows from deletion from the Recorded TV
category; see the following chapter for details.
When you schedule a new show to record, your Fusion Player
will check to make sure that your Media Gateway hard
drive has enough room.
If your hard drive does not have enough room for the new
recording, you’ll receive a message informing you that, when the
new show airs, some recordings may need to be deleted in
order to make room for the new show.
If all of your current recordings are protected against deletion,
you’ll get a message that your show may not be recorded
.
Intro to Recorded TV
In the horizontal menu, you’ll find the Recorded TV category. All
of the recorded shows and shows that are currently recording
are listed in the vertical band in alphabetical order. Episodes of a
series are grouped into folders; you’ll see the individual episodes
in the preview panel to the right. To watch a show, select it, and
press OK. And if you’ve already watched half of the show, you
can choose whether to resume where you left off or start over
from the beginning.
