To record a pay service
You can record programs from a pay service without its sub-
scription card. However, you need the subscription card when
to play back the recorded programs because they are not de-
scrambled. So it is recommended to record them with the sub-
scription card so that they would be descrambled. In that case
you can enjoy them without the subscription card like ones
from free services.
To record a pay service’s program to be descrambled, perform
the following steps:
1. Select the pay program you want to record.
2. Make sure its subscription card is inserted in the CAS
slot on the front of the digital receiver.
3. Start recording.
4. Do not switch to any other service nor use time shift
function until the program is over.
NOTE
If you have switched over to any other service or used time
shift function when recording a pay program, it would be
recorded without unscrambling from that position. Even with
a partially descrambled recording, you need its subscription
card to play back it.
