There are many easy ways to record programmes with Magic TV™.
You can record the programme you’re watching instantly, choose a
programme to record from the EPG, set a traditional timer or record
at the same time every day.
6.1 Basic Magic TV™ recording
terms
Instant Recording. Recording the programme currently being viewed.
Scheduled Recording. Recording a future programme.
Repeat Recording. Recording a future timeslot at the same time each
day or week.
Timer Recording. Manually setting a time for Magic TV™ to record.
To Do List. This is where you can view and amend Scheduled Recording
tasks for the next 7 days.
TimeShifting. You are in TimeShifting mode when you are watching a
delayed version of Live TV. For example when you pause Live TV
because of an interruption, you are now in TimeShifting Mode (see
section 6.10
).
Keep. This term refers to how long Recorded Programmes will be kept
before being deleted.

other list, until it is either restored, overwritten or permanently deleted
(see section 6.8)
Conflict. When 2 or more recordings are scheduled to overlap.
Disk Space. Magic TV™ uses a Hard Disk Drive to store Recorded
Programmes. When this disk is full, no more recordings can be made.
See section 6.8 on how to manage recordings so that you can free up
disk space and keep important recordings.
