70 Recording and Playing
7.1.6 Recording a pay service programme
You can record a pay service programme without the subscrip-
tion card. However, you need the subscription card to play
it back because it has not been descrambled. So it is recom-
mended to record pay service programmes with the subscrip-
tion card so that they can be recorded in descrambled form. In
that case you can enjoy them without the subscription card like
free service ones.
To record a programme of a pay service in descrambled form,
perform the following steps:
1. Select a programme of a pay service you want to record.
2. Make sure that the subscription card is inserted in the
slot on the front of the digital receiver.
3. Start recording.
4. Do not switch to other service nor use time shift until it
is finished.
NOTE
If you switch to other service or use time shift in the middle
of recording a pay programme, it will be recorded without
descrambling from that moment. Even if the recording is only
partially descrambled, you need the subscription card to play
it back.
7.2 File archive
When a programme is recorded, it is stored as a file on the
built-in hard disk drive of the digital receiver. You can select a
recording to play back from the recorded programmes list.
