TS recording with teletext lets you record the subtitles provided for some programs and dis-
play them during playback.  
 
Pre and post recording time. Sets the time by which recordings start before and stop after the 
programmed times. The programmed times are based on the system time of your computer. 
You may therefore be in for an unpleasant surprise if your system time is not reasonably close 
to the actual time. This option lets you program additional recording time before and after the 
actual times to help avoid this problem.  
File splitting. Use this option to specify the size of the files in which the recording should be 
split. Your recordings will automatically be stored in multiple files of the predetermined size.  
This is especially important if your recording folder is on a hard drive formatted with the FAT 
file system. Files in the FAT file system may not be larger than 4GB. We therefore recommend 
using the NTFS file system for the drive containing your recording folder. NTFS supports a 
maximum file size of 16 terabytes—and that amounts to quite a bit of TV (nearly 555 weeks at 
an average bitrate of 4 Mbps). 
Timeshift buffer size. The maximum amount of hard drive space that may be used for times-
hifting. Please note that timeshift recordings are always made in TS format for technical rea-
sons. 
Remove timeshift files. The files created by the timeshift function are normally deleted auto-
matically after use to prevent them from unnecessarily taking up hard drive space. If this 
option is disabled, timeshift files are retained and can be processed further or watched again. 
Video screenshot/teletext screenshot formats. Specify the format for video and teletext 
screenshots here. These files will also be stored in the recording folder. 
Note: The settings made here apply globally for the entire Cinergy Digital 2 software and are 
not stored individually for each channel.
