Tip:

If your Gateway 610 Series Media Center does not include a
recordable DVD drive but includes a recordable CD drive, you can
change the recording device option to Video CD (VCD) and record TV
programs to a CD. The program will record in a lower quality video
format, but will compress to fit on a CD. To change the recording
device, click Settings, General, Recording Devices, then select the
type of recording device you want to record programs to.
