Various functions with Freeview+

This unit has several functions that enable timer recordings to be controlled by the signal sent from the broadcaster.

Guide Link

The recording’s start and stop times can be controlled by the broadcaster, e.g. delayed start. In order to make the timer recording work successfully, we recommend you set the start time earlier and the end time later by some minutes, up to a maximum of 10 minutes. ≥This is indicated by “Guide Link” in the Timer

Recording

Recording screen in step (> 25).

≥The “Guide Link” function may not work if you

manually change the start time or the stop time over 10 minutes.

Series Timer Recording (> 24)

You can record all the episodes of a series by setting just one timer recording.

Split Programme

You can record a programme separated into 2 or more parts by some other programmes, e.g., news. When setting timer from the 1st split programme, other parts of the programme will be automatically set and indicated by the timer icon on the TV Guide. ≥This is indicated by “Split” in the Timer Recording

screen in step (> 25).

Recommendation Booking (> right)

You can record a programme that the broadcaster recommends.
