7. Contiguous programme recordings
Recordings are automatically padded at either end with user-definable values.
However, if two programmes are to be recorded following each other on the same
channel, there’s no possibility of padding.
This means that, if the programmes each record into their own file on disk, the end of
the first may appear in the recording of the second, or vice versa (well, not exactly
vice versa but you know what I mean).
iGuide provides a ‘contiguous recordings’ mechanism, whereby recordings that follow
each other on the same channel are recorded into a single master file. This is invisible
to the user, as iGuide manages its recordings to make it appear that each is separate,
with the appropriate amount of padding before and after.
8. iGuide SMS recording by text
iGuide provides a mechanism to allow timers to be set remotely via SMS text. Note
that this requires that a mobile phone with an RS232 GSM modem interface be
attached to the Toppy’s serial port. Currently the Nokia 6310 and Seimens ME45 have
been tested with this interface. See the iGuideSMS quick guide below for further
details.
