Freeview Playback explained:

and stop at the times sent by the broadcasters. If a programme starts early or runs late the record time
will automatically be adjusted to record the whole programme.
• Series Link
If a programme you wish to record is in a series, you can now record the whole series. If the
programme changes to a dierent day or time the PVR-9150T will track these changes and still record
the programme.
• Alternate Instances
If a scheduled recording(s) overlap with other programmes set to record you will be given the option
to record one of the programmes later that, day or week, on the same channel or a dierent channel.
• Split Recordings
If a programme has two parts split by another entry in the Guide (e.g. a lm divided in to two parts by
a News programme) you will be given the option to set both parts to record.
Note: The above Freeview Playback features are available on channels where the correct and accurate
data is being broadcast. Some channels may not support all services.
