This programme is currently recording.
The times overlap those in another programme. Recording
of the programme with the later start time starts when the
earlier programme finishes recording.
The disc was full so the programme failed to record.
The material was copy-protected so it was not recorded.
The programme did not complete recording because the
disc is dirty or some other reason.

Message displayed in the “Disc space” line
Displayed if the recording can fit in the remaining
space.
For recordings made daily or weekly, the display
will show until when recordings can be made (up
to a maximum of one month from the present
time) based on the time remaining on the disc.
It may not be possible to record because:
•
the disc is write-protected
•
there is no more space left
•
the number of possible titles has reached its
maximum.
