About storage space management with My TV

With the ability of multiple users to schedule several recordings in a day, the recorder storage space can fill up quickly. The three

variables that affect how many shows you can fit on the drive are drive size, allocation, and record quality. To maximize the number of

shows that you can store on your drive, do the following:

In Recorder storage, ensure that:



The largest drive is selected to store Recorded TV. For Recorded TV storage, Media Center does not support removable drives,

network drives, or drives with less than 5GB of disk space.



The maximum percentage of the drive is allocated for Recorded TV in the default storage settings.

In Recording defaults, do the following:



Select Fair for the default recording quality. The lower the TV image quality, the smaller the file size of each recorded show.



Select Until space needed as the default Keep setting for all recordings. This choice ensures that you new recordings can

continue to be made and that Media Center does not store the recordings on the drive any longer than necessary.

With these default settings in place you can record and store more shows on your hard disk. However, if there is a show that you need

to record at Best quality and want to keep for a longer period of time, then you can adjust the settings for individual recordings in

Advanced Record.
