• Keep At Least. (Only available for an individual recording.) This option sets the 

minimum amount of time for the DVR to keep a recording. The default setting is two 
days, except for pay per view events, which default to “Save until I delete.”

The next two items on the list are collectively known as the Overtime Scheduler

™

. 

• Start Recording. Use this setting to start recording a program before its scheduled 

beginning. For example, to catch the first joke of a comedy series, you can set the 
Season Pass to start recording one minute early. The default is “On-time,” but you can 
choose to start recording 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 minutes before the program is scheduled to 
begin.

• Stop Recording. Use this setting to stop recording a program after its scheduled end 

time. For example, you may want to continue recording for a while after the scheduled 
end of a sports event, should it go into overtime. The default setting is “On-time,” but 
you can stop recording 1, 2, 5, 15, or 30 minutes, or 1, 1.5 or 3 hours after a program is 
scheduled to end.

 You can sometimes resolve recording conflicts by changing the Stop Recording or 

Start Recording options. For example, if you set a program to start recording one minute 
early, it may conflict with a recording of the program before it. To resolve the conflict, 
simply change the Start Recording option back to “On-time.”
