Recordings
Choose the drive, and see what you have recorded
Focus this action and press OK. Review the opened panel or confirmation before proceeding; BACK closes the current dialog.
Pausing live TV
What happens when you pause a channel. Select to change (Record it → Record and keep → Provider's catch-up → Off).
Focus this row and press OK to select or cycle its displayed value. Keep the value you want, then return to the relevant screen to check it.
How much to keep
The most a pause will record before it stops growing. Select to change. Choices: 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 or 240 minutes. Actual usable time also depends on free space.
Focus this row and press OK to select or cycle its displayed value. Keep the value you want, then return to the relevant screen to check it.
Pause on the recordings drive
Write pauses to the drive recordings go to instead of the box. Larger, so a pause can last much longer. Memory sticks only — a network share cannot be written and read at once.
Focus this row and press OK to switch it on or off. Check the displayed state before leaving.
Connection limit
What to do when a recording would go past what your playlist allows. Select to change (Ask → Never check → Always stop).

Connections I really have

Save location
Select where new recordings/downloads are written. Existing files are not automatically moved.
Open Recordings → Storage → Save location, choose a destination and confirm writable access.
Choose a folder
Use Android’s folder picker to grant access to a destination.
Open Recordings → Storage → Choose a folder and grant access only to the desired folder.
Network drive
Configure a supported SMB share: host, share, folder, username and password.

Look again for drives
Refresh the list after plugging in or reconnecting a drive.
Connect the drive, choose Look again, then review Save location.
When full
Stop recording or delete oldest recordings when space is exhausted.
Open Storage → When full. Choose Stop recording if existing media must not be deleted.
Recording frequency
Once, Daily or Weekly for a booking.

Recording date, start, end and duration
Review or change a recording window; a running recording offers different editable fields.
Open a booking, set the displayed date/start/end or duration, check the event and Save.
Delete file / Remove from list
Delete file removes media. Remove from list leaves its file on the drive.
Hold the saved item, read the choices and choose only the removal you intend.
