Disk Space And The Hard Disk - Cablecom digital tv Bedienungsanleitung

1 Disk Space and the Hard Disk

Although the disk capacity is quite big, at some point you will run out of disk
space. The recorder tries to prevent it by assigning each of the recordings the
Erasable status and allowing them to reside on the disk until the recorder lacks
space.
Automatic Deleting
If you want the digital tv recorder to clean the hard disk of all non-protected re-
cordings automatically, you can turn the automatic deleting on in the Main Menu
→ settings → your preferences → recording options screen (the default setting is
off) but then you will be forced to delete obsolete recordings manually.
Remember that the recorder may want to remove some recordings due to the lack
of space even if you have few recordings on the disk. This happens when you have
reserved several programs for future recording. The recorder treats reserved space
as taken.
How to Protect Recordings from Being Deleted?
Recordings can be marked as protected manually in the cablecom central. See
the previous chapter for details.
How to Check if a Recording is Protected/Erasable?
You can check if recordings are erasable/protected in the cablecom central by ap-
plying the protected method of sorting. Only protected recordings are listed then.
See the previous chapter for details.
Getting More Information about the Disk
A more detailed information about the disk is
available in Main Menu → settings → instal-
lation → hard disk → disk information.
The most important part of the screen is the
disk usage. Bear in mind that although the
information is meant to be as close to the
reality as possible it is impossible to foresee
the actual amount of space that will be
