12.1.2 Timer recordings
By using the DVR timer, you can automatically record programmes on an inserted
USB storage medium while you are out. Your device also has a channel-switching
timer. In terms of their programming, these timer types dier only in name. You can
program the timers manually as described in this chapter, or use the EPG function.
Ensure that the receiver has read the correct time. During operation this is
displayed in the info box If this is not the case, switch the receiver to a major
channel such as ZDF for approx. 30 seconds, to acquire the time.
12.1.3 Timeshi function
The Timeshi function allows you to record and play back at the same time. This
enables "timeshied" viewing. Hence you can start watching the beginning of a
recording and skip through any sections already recorded (e.g. advertising slots). The
live broadcast of the programme continues to be recorded at the same time. (see
the following examples)
Example: skipping advertising slots
Do you want to see a programme without annoying commercial breaks?
With the DVR you can simply skip recorded ad breaks.
Example: timeshied playback
You have missed the start of the Formula 1 race.
No problem! The DVR shows you the race with a time delay, whilst it also
continues to record it.
