DVR Operations

Can I record one channel while I am watching another?

Yes. With either the Amulet or the Hydra STB you can record one program while
watching another channel. With the Hydra STB, you can record one channel while
watching up to three different channels.

Note: If you have a Hydra and have subscribed to 3 streams, you can watch
3 different programs and record up to 2 programs, however, the television
on stream 1 must watch one of the programs being recorded.

Will the DVR record on more than one TV in my home?

Swiftel DVR service comes with the Whole-Home DVR option. This means that a
user can initiate a recording from any television in the house. DVR recordings can
also be viewed from any television.

Does the parental control prevent DVR use?

The parental control does not stop the other users from accessing the DVR
function but it will prevent them from viewing any content that is blocked by your
parental control settings.

Can I watch a previously recorded program while recording another or
multiple programs?

Yes, you can be recording 2 separate programs while watching yet another
previously recorded program on your primary stream. Also, the recording will not
affect your ability to watch other channels on your streams 2 or 3 (if subscribed).

How do I know how much space is left for recording in my DVR, and what
happens when it is full?

When you are in the DVR menu, you will see an indicator which will tell you the
approximate percentage of your storage space being used. Note: High-Def
programs take more storage space than standard programming. When the DVR
is full and a new recording is requested, the DVR will delete the oldest recorded
program unless that program is locked. Programs recorded on the DVR are for
short term storage on that DVR only and can not be transferred or saved to other
storage media for viewing.
