by a curved arrow. Press this button to jump backward in the program

Delete Recorded Programs
The Contour Program Guide lets you manage the
number of recordings saved to your DVR. This is
particularly important as DVRs have ample, but not
unlimited, storage space. A “gas gauge” in the top
right corner of the DVR List Menu screen shows
how much available storage space remains at any
given time.
There are two ways to manage the way programs
are removed from the list. The first is the Until
option. It allows you to decide in advance when a
program will be deleted based on other conditions.
You can choose to keep a program until storage
space is needed, until you watch any portion of the
program or until you actively delete it.
To change an Until setting, begin at the Actions
Card of a program selected from the DVR
Recorded Programs list:
1. Use the UP or DOWN arrow to highlight Until and then press SELECT. It will open a new dialogue box.
2. Use the UP or DOWN arrow to highlight the appropriate choice – Space Needed, I Delete or I Viewed –
and then press SELECT.
3. Press B to confirm and update your settings.
The second way is to simply delete a program or an entire folder. To delete a single recording or an entire folder, begin
on the DVR List menu:
1. Press the RIGHT arrow or SELECT. The focus will move to the Folders Card in the center; the highlight bar will be
on the first program in the list. Each program or series will have an icon next to it. Series recordings will have a
folder icon while individual recordings will have one of two different icons – a green dot or an exclamation point.
2. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight a program or folder, and then press the D button on the remote
control. A confirmation dialog will ask if you wanted to permanently delete this program or the entire folder
depending on what you chose in the earlier step.
3. Press the B button to confirm your selection. The recording or the entire folder will be permanently deleted from
your DVR.
Alternatively, you can delete a single recording from the Actions Card. To do that, begin at the Actions Card of a
program selected from the DVR Recorded Programs list:
1. Use the UP or DOWN arrow to highlight Delete This Program and then press SELECT.
2. Press B to confirm.
You can also delete a single recording from the Actions Card.
The Instant Replay button looks like this. It is
below the REWIND and Record buttons.
• PAUSE & LEFT: Pressing PAUSE and then LEFT begins a frame by frame playback of the recorded program.
You can walk through different frames of the recorded program by repeatedly pressing the LEFT arrow
button on your remote control.
When you press any of these buttons, a progress bar appears at the bottom of your screen. It displays the viewing time
graphically as well as in hours, minutes and seconds.
