  VPS  and   automatic  time  control
Your TV set can use the supporting technologies VPS (Video Programming 
System) and automatic time control for recording a broadcast.
VPS serves for monitoring the start and end time of the broadcast with 
analogue stations. The VPS time indication is compared by the digital 
recorder with the start time programmed by the user. If both times cor-
respond the recording is started. However, VPS is not supported by all 
stations.
The automatic time control assumes the corresponding monitoring of the 
start and end time for DVB stations. The recording is started at the begin-
ning of the broadcast and switched off at the end, even if the start and/
or end time have been changed by the programme provider. Broadcast 
interruptions are also taken into account. However, the automatic time 
control is not supported by all stations.
 DVB  Common Interface standard (CI)
If a programme has been recorded coded, the decoding process is carried 
out automatically the next night in the standby mode (when timer data 
settings do not differ). Please note that the TV set may not be switched 
off at the mains overnight and that the CA module with SmartCard must 
be inserted in the CI slot of the TV set.
If the recording is not decoded fairly soon after decoding, it may not be 
possible to decode it at all. The longer the time between recording and 
decoding, the greater the probability that the code is no longer valid.
➠  Scrambled hard disk recordings appear in the timer list until they are 
descrambled (page 93).
➠  You can also start decoding manually (see page 101).
➠  Your programme provider may not support later (time offset) descram-
bling. 
You can have programmes from scrambled stations descrambled already 
in DR continuous mode. This saves you having to decode directly recorded 
scrambled programmes later. An appropriate CA module with SmartCard 
must be inserted in the TV set’s CI slot for this.
➠ The playback of encrypted programmes is strongly dependent on 
which CA module is used. The playback of encrypted recordings may 
sometimes not be possible, or only to a limited extent.
  Hint: When possible, record unencrypted programmes or unencrypt 
them as soon as possible.
➠  Selection possibilities in the CA module menu (see operating manual 
of the TV set) and performance capability of your CA module depend 
on the type of module used and the installed software. Consult the 
manufacturer of the module if you have any questions.
